High specification tubes deployed in nuclear reactor fuel cans operating at 650°C

Nuclear

Fine Tubes has a pedigree of manufacturing safety-critical tubes for the nuclear industry dating back to the 1970s, when we started supplying nuclear fuel cans to the UK’s first generation of gas cooled reactors.

As nuclear power has evolved, so has our expertise. Today we support customers at the earliest stages of design engineering for new builds, plant maintenance, global life extension projects and Small Modular Reactors (SMR).

Nuclear Tube Applications

Working in partnership with our US-based sister business, Superior Tube, our high-quality tubes are trusted by the world’s major nuclear reactor suppliers to operate in critical applications including:

High performance tubes for nuclear fuel reactor cans
