Nuclear power is a longstanding solution for producing low carbon energy. For over 45 years, Valinox, a Vallourec company, has offered products and expertise to the nuclear power industry, providing safe, durable tubes to plants around the world.
Nuclear power remains a specialized market, with a handful of strong national and local operators around the world in need of top quality, durable products.
Nuclear power plant operators face some of the strictest safety regulations of any low carbon energy generator. Nuclear plants are expected to function reliably for 60 years, since once inserted, pipes and tubes cannot be replaced. Tubes must hold up under extremely high pressure and temperatures, and be reliably corrosion-resistant. Many nuclear products are also non-standard and made of complex materials that must adhere to strict safety requirements.
Vallinox is a trusted partner in nuclear power, having provided reliable tubular solutions to 58 nuclear sites worldwide. Our advisory services and long experience in the nuclear industry helps us deliver customized tubes for steam generators and nuclear environment products to clients worldwide.
