Fabrication of fuel assemblies for pressurized water reactors (PWRs), based on natural uranium (U02) or reprocessed uranium (REPU).
FBFC handles all fuel fabrication operations, from the transformation of enriched uranium hexafluoride (UF6) up to the delivery of completed fuel assemblies. It also produces most of the mechanical components (grids, top and bottom nozzles, and associated components) used in these fuel assemblies, as well as the rod cluster control assemblies used to control the nuclear chain reaction.
