Kingsbury’s novel fixture for machining nuclear waste containers
Decommissioning legacy nuclear waste silos on a former UK power generating site at Sellafield requires a large number of bins to be machined to close geometrical tolerances to ensure safe stacking.
Treated superalloys demonstrate unprecedented heat resistance
Researchers at Idaho National Laboratory (INL) have discovered how to make “superalloys” even more super, extending useful life by thousands of hours. The discovery could improve materials performance for electrical generators and nuclear reactors.
3D printing for the nuclear industry
The U.S. Department of Energy has announced that GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GEH) has been selected to lead a USD 2 million additive manufacturing research project. GEH will lead the project by producing sample replacement parts in corrosion resistant alloys for nuclear power plants.
Asian nuclear generation on a high
Nuclear new build levels in Asia are at a 25 year high. With each reactor requiring huge amounts of stainless steels, nickel alloys and titanium, this is good news for producers. In the long term, the industry aims for nuclear generation to supply 25% of global electricity demand by 2050.
