For the Entire Nuclear Life Cycle

From enrichment to reprocessing, from power generation to waste management, our nuclear seal solutions play a role in every step of the nuclear cycle. Our critical components are found in new and existing nuclear power plants, spent fuel casks, fission reactors, enrichment plants and national laboratories. They include nuclear reactor pressure vessel (RPV) closure heads, reactor coolant pump (RCP), quick disconnect systems (QDS), metal seals and gaskets, and much more.
