Keeping The Lights On: How One Nuclear Station Avoided Multi-Million Dollar Unplanned Outages

October 29, 2025
When reliability is non-negotiable, even a single valve can make or break operations. At a major nuclear station, aging analog valve positioners had become a serious concern—identified as a Single Point Vulnerability capable of triggering an outage lasting up to a week and costing over $1 million per day in lost revenue.

With no internal labor available and the next outage more than a year away, the plant needed a partner who could act fast. R.E. Mason stepped in, deploying Enhanced Reliability Systems (ERS) with redundant DVC 6200 remote-mounted valve positioners for both units. Working around the clock through tight qualification requirements and holiday schedules, the R.E. Mason team delivered stability, reliability, and peace of mind.

The result? Both units restarted on schedule, significantly reducing risk and ensuring uninterrupted power to the grid—all without waiting for the next outage cycle.

Discover how R.E. Mason helped this nuclear station stay ahead of failure and avoid multimillion-dollar losses.
