Welding – Nuclear Metal

In 1976, Weldstar became the first independent welding distributor in the country to obtain an ASME N certificate. We have maintained our certification through today; ASME MO (Material Organization) (QSC 229). Our QSC enables us to inventory and sell tested welding materials to the Nuclear Power Industry.

QSC Certificate

“It costs approximately 1 to 1.5 million dollars a day when a plant is down and not operating, so we have to be very efficient. When you go to the manufacturer, it takes much longer to get a good certified material test report (CMTR) so it’s important to get the correct materials the first time. We use Weldstar for the service and they take the time to do the job right the first time.”
