Activity and Skills

Empresarios Agrupados Internacional, S.A. is an engineering consultant/architect-engineering company founded in 1971. EA is a leading organisation with significant experience worldwide. It provides complete solutions in the fields of consultancy, project management, engineering and design, procurement, manufacturing, installation, construction management, testing planning, nuclear safety support, quality assurance, as well as support to operation in the following areas and industrial sectors:

EA works in the following areas: nuclear fission power plants (new built and support to NPPs in operation), SMRs fission power plants engineering (all technologies), large infrastructures and scientific research installations (ITER, CERN, ESS), innovative nuclear systems and research reactors for fission and fusion technologies, conventional power generation (coil and gas), aerospace, defence and civil aviation, IT, decommissioning and radioactive waste management, including design of low and intermediate level waste treatment and spent fuel storage facilities.

EA has carried out several nuclear projects for international institutions and research and development programmes of the European Union, the World Bank and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development. In fission technology, EA has participated in more than 20 EURATOM projects.

In fusion technology, EA has more than 20 years of experience in the field of nuclear fusion technology development, starting with the ITER Engineering and Design Phase (EDA) through contracts with EFDA (EU) (1994-2004), followed by the ITER Realization Phase since 2004, through contracts with IO, F4E and CIEMATt. In support of fusion technology, EA has carried out contracts with Eurofusion and with EU for development of DONES and DEMO.

In SMR technologies, EA has more than 20 years’ experience in all technologies (molten salt, gas cooled and liquid metals cooled).

Contracts for Big Science facilities

[F4E] NHF Supply of Normal Heat Flux Elements for JT-60SA divertor (2023)

In the frame of the agreement between the EU and Japan, F4E must supply the Divertor, located in the bottom of the Vacuum Vessel of the JT-60SA that is divided into 36 almost identical units. Each Divertor unit has vertical targets, a dome, baffles and cover plates, all installed on a stainless-steel (SS) cassette. The targets, dome, baffles and target plates are collectively referred to as Plasma Facing Components (PFCs). The PFCs are exposed to the heat flux from the plasma, which is then transferred to the cooling water flowing in pipes running underneath their surface.

[F4E - ENGAGE ] Architect Engineering Services for ITER Building – Construction Design (2022)

It is in this context that EAI intervenes, with their partners Assystem, Atkins and Iosis, to ensure the industrial project management on behalf of "F4E" of the construction and development of the buildings and the site as Architect Engineer, of the ITER project.

[ITER ORGANIZATION] Tokamak Cooling Water System (TCWS) – Engineering Work Packages (2021)

This contract covers engineering support services for ITER Tokamak Cooling Water System design. The tasks perfomed include the Thermo-hydraulic steady state and transient analyses, sizing calculations for the TCWS sub-systems components, water hammer analyses, design of overpressure protection systems, TCWS valves design, RAMI analyses and fire protection optimization in DTR for TCWS and VVPSS.

[ITER ORGANIZATION] Central Safety System Nuclear (SCS-N) – TCWS cubicles (2021)

The scope of the contract includes the design, qualification, procurement, installation and commissioning of the ITER CSS-N. Within this contract, EAI is the Consortium leader and is in charge of the design, qualification, test and commissioning of the system.

[OTHER - ThorCon International ] Architect Engineering Services for the molten salt reactor TMSR500 (2021)

The TMRS-500 (ThorCon Molten Salt Reactor 500) is a pasive small nuclear reactor (SMR) based on molten salt reactor technology, with an electrical power of 500 MWe. The plant is constructed over a floating sea platform that is transported to the site. Within this project, EAI, as Architect Engineer, supports ThorCon across a broad range of activities, including project management, document control, code compliance, site preparation, pre-construction activities and licensing agreements. Additionally, the company will also provide engineering services to ThorCon throughout the lifecycle of the project, from design engineering to construction, operation and eventual decommissioning.
