A business process utilizes computer software and electronic customer/supplier connections to supply information, receive requests for quotation, supply quotations, receive purchase orders, and perform commercial and technical functions associated with delivery of such purchase orders or quotations with respect to environment and use specific products. Such products require customer or plant application unique technical evaluation and/or commercial processing to ensure applicability to a specific customer application. The system provides a vehicle to search for parts requiring such technical review encompassing anticipated product use.

An electrical penetration assembly is disclosed for providing a vapor and pressure seal between a conductor passing through two freestanding walls of a nuclear reactor containment which are subject to relative movement due to a seismic event. Penetration nozzles or tubes are placed through the walls of the containment when it is constructed. The penetration assembly is inserted into the nozzles and comprises a first subassembly fixed and sealed to a first penetration nozzle in the first wall and a second penetration subassembly in sliding or rolling engagement and sealed to a second penetration nozzle in the second wall. The sliding or rolling seal in the second nozzle allows the unrestrained reaction of the conductor to relative movement between the two freestanding walls during a seismic event without damage to the conductor or the penetration assembly. The penetration assembly also prevents the possibility of damage to either the conductor or the penetration assembly due to thermally induced stresses. The penetration assembly also minimizes installation difficulties resulting from unavoidable misalignments of the walls or the penetration nozzles mounted therein. Several embodiments of the invention showing different ways of effecting a sliding or rolling seal in the second penetration nozzle are disclosed.
