Nuclear Power

Castings Technology has enjoyed many years of close collaboration with the nuclear industry and is a preferred supplier of rotating equipment including impellers and diffusers for a leading international operator.

The company is also undertaking development work for components used in the nuclear islands manufactured using modified austenitic stainless steels (316LN). These materials have a carefully controlled low level of carbon and an equally well controlled higher nitrogen content than conventional 316 stainless steel.

The company is also working closely with designers of SMR’s and nuclear fusion plants to develop materials and applications for the balance of plant area where integrity, geometrical relationship(s),  corrosion, light weighting and anti-fouling issues can be resolved.
