FCN - Components and Assembly

In Resende, on Steel mill Fuel Nuclear Components & Assembly são assembled the parts fuels & producing the yours components about to two technologies differentiate model Westinghouse ( ANGRA 1) or model Siemens ( ANGRA 2) , in addition to service of factory of high precision with repetition assured , of inspection dimensional & of tolerance geometric with results informatizados what guarantee quality & rastreabilidade of data.

They are also realized processes of solder for bundle of electron , of metals without addition of material & with minimum zone termicamente affected (z.t.a.), applied em big number of metals & alloys. Solders of aços - carbon aços of low & high she turns on , alloys resistant the hot , metals of high melting point , aluminum & his alloys , titanium & his alloys , beryllium & diverse metals dissimilares without metal of addition.

FCN Component Manufacturing has nominal capacity of 250 ton/year of uranium (U) – about 100 t/U are enough for the first charge of a 1.300 MWe reactor or for annual recharges of up to three reactors of this size.

The fabrication of fuel element involves high sophistication in mechanic precision and quality guarantee. Ultra-sound equipment, X-ray, special solders, laser admeasurements, microscopes and other refined resources are commonly used in its production and control process.
