Product Name: Reactor Vessel Closure Heads
Manufacturer Name: BWXT
Product Description: BWX Technologies, Inc. specializes in the design and manufacturing of reactor vessel closure heads, which are critical components of nuclear reactors. The reactor vessel serves as the core housing for the coolant system, featuring a cylindrical shell with a spherical bottom head and a top ring flange to which the closure head is bolted. Constructed primarily from low-alloy steel, the vessel is internally clad with stainless steel to enhance corrosion resistance. With a height of nearly 41 feet (12.5 meters) and an internal diameter of 171 inches (4343 mm), the reactor vessel is robustly engineered, featuring a minimum shell wall thickness of 8.4 inches (213 mm) and an internal cladding thickness of 0.125 inches (3.18 mm). Additionally, reflective metal insulation is applied to the exterior surfaces to optimize thermal performance.
