It will handle large components during on-site assembly and fabrication, supporting TerraPower\u2019s innovative approach to performing some manufacturing activities directly at the plant.<\/li>\n<li>Fuel Handling Bridge crane: A nuclear-rated crane built to the ASME NOG-1 Type 1 Single Failure Proof standard, with a main lifting capacity of 150 tons (and 30 tons auxiliary). This crane will manage fuel handling and cask movements within the fuel handling bay.<\/li>\n<li>Reactor Building crane: A nuclear-rated crane designed to ASME NOG-1 Type 1 standards, with a lifting capacity of 150 tons (plus 30 tons auxiliary) will support all overhead lifting for reactor assembly and maintenance.<\/li>\n<li>Turbine Facility Bridge crane: A high-quality crane rated for 100 tons main lift capacity (and 20 tons auxiliary), intended for turbine assembly, maintenance, and repair. While not nuclear-rated, it meets the stringent quality requirements of turbine operations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All cranes will be manufactured to the highest quality assurance standards, ensuring safe and reliable operation. The nuclear-rated cranes include advanced safety and reliability features such as seismic restraints and radiation-resistant coatings and components.<\/p>\n<p>Each main hoist has a sister hook for additional security, redundant hoist machinery and additional structural safeguards to prevent dropped loads. These measures comply with strict nuclear industry safety and quality standards, enabling dependable performance under the demanding conditions of advanced nuclear power generation.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_15827\" style=\"width: 637px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15827\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15827\" src=\"https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/bcc021331755197c_800x800ar.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"627\" height=\"344\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/bcc021331755197c_800x800ar.png 627w, https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/bcc021331755197c_800x800ar-400x219.png 400w, https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/bcc021331755197c_800x800ar-440x241.png 440w, https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/bcc021331755197c_800x800ar-592x325.png 592w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 627px) 100vw, 627px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-15827\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The four new cranes will be installed in key construction areas, each designed for specific functions.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Andrew Grooms, Regional Sales Manager, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/item\/konecranes-inc\/\">Konecranes<\/a> Nuclear Equipment &amp; Service, says, \u201cThis order reflects the commitment and expertise Konecranes brings to meeting Bechtel\u2019s strict and precise standards at the TerraPower\u2019s Natrium Plant site.
