In the world of nuclear energy, heat exchangers quietly ensure a nuclear power plant runs smoothly and safely. Think of them as the heart of the power plant, efficiently transferring heat for various processes in the nuclear supply system.
At BWXT, we don’t just build heat exchangers – we craft them with precision and passion. We understand that these components are critical for reliable plant operation, and we’ve poured decades of expertise into perfecting their design and manufacture.
Decades of experience: We’ve mastered heat transfer technology through designing and manufacturing more than 300 original equipment and replacement nuclear steam generators and more than 100 other heat exchangers for plants worldwide. That wealth of knowledge is visible in every component.
Unmatched reliability: Our heat exchangers are built to last. We know that downtime is costly, so we focus on creating robust, dependable components that stand the test of time. Our track record speaks for itself – BWXT-supplied steam generators and heat exchangers have consistently met or exceeded their specified thermal performance requirements.
Commitment to quality: We adhere to the highest industry standards, including ASME, CSA and ISO, as well as jurisdictional standards like NUPIC and CANPAC. This unwavering commitment to quality ensures that every BWXT heat exchanger delivers exceptional performance and safety.
TerraPower’s Natrium technology is a first-of-its-kind advanced reactor, using liquid sodium as a coolant instead of water.
The 345 MWe reactor is coupled with an integrated energy storage system that enables the plant to rapidly boost the system’s output to 500 MW if needed, allowing for a seamless integration with renewable energy and an overall increase in grid resiliency.
