Anodes for Uranium Hexafluoride Production

More than 50 years of international experience make the SGL Group a preferred supplier of carbon-based parts for nuclear reactors. The SGL Group has developed a whole portfolio of materials both for pebble bed and prismatic High Temperature Reactors. Broad Base. Best Solutions.CARBONIN ENERGY.SGL Group‘s Products and Services for Nuclear Power Plant TechnologyGraphite Core MaterialThe graphite grades supplied by SGL Group (NBG-10, NBG-17, NBG-18 and NBG-25) are based on raw materials with nuclear track record and have been developed to display highest strength, yet with reduced brittleness, highest isotropy as well as highest thermal conductivity.CFRC MaterialsCFRC materials serve as structural elements inside a HTR, wherever an extremely high strength is required. Also, the CFRC components that are inserted into the outlet gas pipe allow the outlet temperature to be increased beyond the strength limits of metal pipe linings. The SGL Group holds the full portfolio of CFRC production methods from winding, plate pressing to multidimensional structures to meet any customer design. After value-added treatments such as coatings, the fit with other reactor components is ensured through machining with state-of-the-art machining tools.Nuclear Machining Center To supply projects with finished parts, the SGL Group is using state-of-the-art technology for its machining work in order to meet the high quality required for both precision and purity of reactor core parts.Fuel Matrix MaterialSGL Group’s Electro-Graphite Powder is a proven component of the fuel matrix of the HTR pebbles and compacts. Raw material selection together with our quality system yield a product of high consistency to fulfill any customer‘s specification. This is checked by best-in-class analysis tools. As a service we can also provide analysis of other components of the fuel matrix.Machined Graphite SpheresThe core of a pebble bed reactor contains, besides fuel spheres, also fuel-free Machined Graphite Spheres. These have high requirements for size and weight and they need to be resistant to both high temperatures and abrasion. Based on proven raw materials, SGL Group‘s graphite rods have extremely consistent properties that, coupled with high precision machining, yield a reliable mass product.Graphite SpecialtiesSGL CARBON GmbHDrachenburgstrasse 153170 Bonn/Germanynuclear-technology@sglcarbon.dewww.sglgroup.com 11 2008/1 1N Printed in GermanyThis information is based on our present state of knowledge and is intended to provide general notes on our products and their uses.
