Bureau Veritas (BV) is pleased to offer a training program specially designed for RCC-M which are the design and construction rules for mechanical components of PWR nuclear islands.

Why learn about RCC Codes?
•   AFCEN’s RCC codes, the French nuclear standard, have been successfully used for the design and construction of 100+ nuclear units
•   Gateway to equip Indian manufacturers and supply chains to participate in international EPR programs/projects in France, India, UK, through knowledge and skills required to comply with the RCC-M code
•   NPCIL’s recent adoption of RCC codes (AFCEN) marks an important step forward in nuclear project execution by enhancing safety, strengthening regulatory trust, improving efficiency in streamlining design & construction, reducing delays and uncertainties to support the deployment of advanced reactors technologies.

BV is an AFCEN-approved training agency for RCC-M, ensuring quality and relevance.
