Snubber Testing and Rebuild Services 

Qualified engineers and technicians using proven equipment perform repair and functional testing either on-site or at the Wyle Huntsville facility, the only off-site Radioactive Material Licensed facility for snubber services in the country.  This full-service approach from one organization helps keep nuclear power plants on schedule during outages. Wyle has a Quality Assurance Program approved by more than 40 utilities and is in accordance with applicable portions of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, ANSI N45.2 and 10 CFR

On-Site Snubber Services
Wyle’s specially designed field service trailers and experienced personnel provide turnkey in-service programs on-site during plant outages.  Each trailer is a self-contained laboratory equipped with a test machine; a fill and purge system; a bridge crane; rebuild tools; and office area.

Off-Site Snubber Services
Wyle’s Huntsville, Alabama, facility performs snubber testing and repairs for those power plants which prefer the advantages of off-site services.  The Huntsville facility is the only service provider having a Radioactive Material License which allows contaminated snubbers and other nuclear plant components to be repaired and tested.
