Quality
Volian Enterprises, located near
Pittsburgh PA, has been supporting the nuclear power industry since 1984.
Experience and in-depth knowledge really do count. Volian's success
in providing quality services
and products to electric utilities that operate nuclear power plants (NPPs) has
allowed us to enter our twenty-sixth year in 2010 as a competitive and preferred supplier.
We have assisted
many power plants implement EOPs based on the Westinghouse Owners Group (WOG)
Emergency Response Guidelines (ERGS). Our services are the very best as
recognized by utilities that seek our services to assist them in developing
Emergency Operating Procedures (EOPs), Severe Accident Management Guidelines
(SAMGs), and Emergency Action Levels (EALs).We are one of a very few
providers of EOP Setpoint calculations for Westinghouse designed NPPs.
A testimony
to the quality of Volian products is the longevity of VE-PROMS, first developed
in 1985 that is the preferred procedure maintenance system at 19 NPP sites.
Value
We are well-known in the nuclear
industry for giving excellent value for our products and services.
Typically for much better deliverable quality our prices are two to ten times
less than our competitors. For services like EOP setpoints, we charge a
very reasonable price for a superior product versus our competitors. This
statement is also true for our software product where competing products charge
much more for inferior functionality (compared to VE-PROMS). We would be
happy to prove these statements by submitting a proposal to you the next time
your utility needs support.
Expertise
We are very proud that Volian personnel
have in-depth knowledge and expertise in the areas they support. All of
the people that support the development and customer service for VE-PROMS have
in excess of 10 years experience supporting the product.
Our President,
Harry Julian, was at Westinghouse after the TMI event and
participated in resolving many issues, such as EOPs, Instrumentation
requirements, operational analyses with operator actions for small break
LOCA, Steam Generator Tube Rupture, Loss of Heat Sink and establishing
design requirements for new reactor designs.
Volian's
Engineering Manager and Technical Expert on EOP setpoints and Instrumentation,
Paul Linn, has 24 years experience in developing EOP setpoints based on the WOG
ERGs. He takes an active, hands-on role on every EOP setpoint project that
Volian is involved with. |
