What TECH Y TECH does

TECH Y TECH is a Paris-based private SASU founded by Frédérique DAMERVAL that operates as a technology broker and technical consulting firm for the nuclear decontamination and waste treatment sector. The company curates, represents, and distributes a portfolio of five complementary technology lines sourced from third-party specialists: ultrasonic decontamination systems (SINAPTEC), electrochemical decontamination via carbon fiber brushes with portable AC/DC rectifiers (1000-3500W), YAG and fiber laser decontamination systems (40-500W), ASTILLO milling and scabbling equipment with HEPA dust capture, and NOCHAR (USA) engineered polymers for irreversible solidification of liquid radioactive waste. These technologies address surface decontamination (wet, dry, electrochemical, laser), structural surface preparation, and liquid waste conditioning across the nuclear decommissioning lifecycle.

The company generates revenue through three streams: (1) professional services including technical assistance for studies, calls for tenders (AO), and radiological impact assessments (RAO); (2) training delivered through partnerships with INSTN, École des Ponts ParisTech, ISTP Saint Etienne, and Université de Valence; and (3) hardware sales of equipment (priced €2,000-9,000 per unit depending on market) and NOCHAR polymers. Its customer base is concentrated in the French nuclear industry — ORANO (La Hague, Marcoule), CEA, EDF — and extends to construction services (Bouygues BCSN, ONET), UK decommissioning (Magnox Harwell), US DOE (Rocky Flats), and Romanian operations (Cernavoda NPP). Operations are founder-driven with 1-10 employees, €10,000 registered capital, and reliance on the Nuclear-21 expert network for collaborative capacity rather than organic headcount expansion.

Core offering

TECH Y TECH is an independent technology broker and consultancy that supplies the French and European nuclear industry with five proven decontamination and waste-treatment technologies — ultrasound, electrodecontamination, laser, scabbling/stripping, and NOCHAR polymers. The company provides technical consulting, operator training, and equipment supply to nuclear operators, decommissioning contractors, and radioactive-waste service firms that need access to specialised decontamination methods.

Product overview

TECH Y TECH is a technology broker and expertise provider specializing in nuclear decontamination and waste treatment solutions. The company represents and distributes a portfolio of five core technologies: (1) Ultrasons — ultrasound-based decontamination using cavitation, vibration, and acoustic wind effects; (2) Électrodécontamination — electrochemical decontamination using carbon fiber brushes with portable rectifiers; (3) Laser — YAG and fiber laser systems for dry decontamination; (4) Écroutage/Décapage/Stripping — ASTILLO-brand milling and scabbling equipment for concrete and paint removal with dust capture; and (5) NOCHAR Polymers — engineered polymers for liquid waste solidification and stabilization. These complementary technologies address the full spectrum of nuclear decommissioning needs: surface decontamination (wet, dry, electrochemical, laser), structural surface preparation (scabbling, stripping), and waste stream solidification.

Broad incumbents

• Amentum: Amentum is a leading US-based nuclear and environmental services contractor providing D&D, environmental remediation, and waste management to the US DOE and commercial nuclear sector. Its Hanford, Oak Ridge, and Portsmouth site work parallels TECH Y TECH's ORANO, CEA, and US DOE Rocky Flats engagements.
• Framatome: Framatome provides nuclear reactor services, fuel, and instrumentation across the French and global nuclear fleet. Its services arm and instrumentation portfolio overlap with TECH Y TECH's monitoring and decontamination focus, though Framatome operates as a tier-1 OEM and integrated services provider.
• Westinghouse Government Services: Westinghouse Government Services provides nuclear deactivation, decommissioning, and remediation services to the US DOE and Department of Defense. Its D&D work at sites such as the West Valley Demonstration Project and Bettis parallels TECH Y TECH's decontamination and waste-treatment scope.
• AtkinsRéalis: AtkinsRéalis (formerly SNC-Lavalin) provides nuclear engineering, decommissioning, and waste management services globally through its Nuclear division, with reference projects at CANDU stations, Sellafield, and US DOE sites. It overlaps with TECH Y TECH's D&D and waste-treatment capabilities at substantially larger scale.
• Assystem: Assystem is a major French engineering and project-management firm with a substantial nuclear services division supporting ITER, EDF, CEA, and Orano. It provides broader engineering and program-management services than TECH Y TECH's specialized technology-curation focus.

Direct peers

• Veolia Nuclear Solutions: Veolia Nuclear Solutions provides nuclear site cleanup, waste treatment, decommissioning, and radiological services globally. Its expertise in liquid and solid radioactive waste conditioning (including incineration and stabilization) directly parallels TECH Y TECH's NOCHAR polymer solidification and broader decontamination portfolio.
• Cavendish Nuclear (Babcock International): Cavendish Nuclear is a UK-based nuclear services company providing decommissioning, decontamination, and waste management across the Sellafield and Magnox sites. Its scope and customer profile (NDA, EDF Energy) closely mirror TECH Y TECH's European D&D focus.
• NUVIA: NUVIA (VINCI group) provides nuclear decommissioning, decontamination, radiation protection, and waste management services across Europe. Its service portfolio and customer base (EDF, Orano, CEA) directly overlap with TECH Y TECH's offerings, but NUVIA operates at substantially greater scale and as a vertically integrated contractor.

Emerging players

• Mirion Technologies: Mirion Technologies is a global provider of radiation detection, measurement, and monitoring solutions to nuclear, medical, and defense markets. It is a partial peer through its radiation-measurement product overlap with TECH Y TECH's instrumentation dimension, though Mirion focuses on detection hardware rather than decontamination processes.

Regional players

• Studsvik: Studsvik is a Swedish nuclear services firm providing fuel services, decommissioning, and waste treatment. Its Northern European geographic concentration and waste-treatment capabilities — including incineration referenced in TECH Y TECH's Cernavoda project — make it a regionally comparable peer.
