SOLUTIONS FOR THE NUCLEAR TEST MARKET

Materion has a strong heritage working with the nuclear energy market, providing beryllium materials that support the operation of nuclear test reactors and experimental fusion reactors. The chemical and physical properties of beryllium including low atomic number and large neutron scattering cross-section make it an ideal material for nuclear applications. Our beryllium can be found in nuclear test applications such as:

  • Neutron reflectors and moderators
  • Neutron filter assemblies
  • Fusion-1st wall tiles (Maintain plasma purity-low or no oxygen contamination) in ITER and JET
  • Neutron sources
