HEXANA is pleased to announce its strategic partnership with Tractebel, a global engineering and consulting firm specializing in sustainable energy projects and built environment solutions.
This collaboration will accelerate the development of HEXANA’s innovative SMR (Small Modular Reactor) energy platform, which combines sodium-cooled fast reactors with advanced thermal storage capabilities.
Three Key Missions Supported by Tractebel
This initial partnership focuses on three essential missions where Tractebel’s multidisciplinary nuclear expertise will support HEXANA:
Design of Nuclear Island Building Systems and Utilities
Tractebel will contribute its expertise in designing the building systems and utilities of the nuclear island, a critical component for the successful operation of HEXANA’s SMR energy platform.
Specialized Handling and Maintenance of Components
The collaboration also covers the specialized handling and maintenance of components, ensuring the efficiency, reliability, and longevity of the systems associated with the SMR platform.
Compliance with European Nuclear Safety Regulations
Lastly, Tractebel will support HEXANA in meeting European nuclear safety regulations, a fundamental requirement for the development and operational deployment of the energy platform.
A Partnership to Accelerate Industrial Decarbonization in Europe
This partnership highlights HEXANA’s commitment to becoming a key player in industrial decarbonization and energy flexibility services across Europe. The initial agreement marks a significant milestone, laying the groundwork for an expanded scope during the conceptual design phase.
By combining Tractebel’s proven nuclear engineering expertise with HEXANA’s innovative SMR energy solutions, this partnership aims to contribute substantially to Europe’s clean energy transition and sustainable industrial growth.
