AMS is a nuclear engineering firm, formed from a research project at the University of Tennessee and Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Since its beginning in 1977, AMS has grown consistently and continually. AMS provides a unique set of equipment, services, and training to the worldwide nuclear industry. These products help nuclear power plants verify that the sensors, which are used for control of p
lant operations and safety functions, are working properly. AMS products allow nuclear plants to perform their tests remotely, while the plant is operating. Without these servies the plants need to conduct these tests at the site of the sensors while the plant is shut down, which significantly increases the costs of maintenance. An AMS customer recently published a paper indicating that AMS technology saves the plant $10 million per year.
