Rawwater Engineering Company moves into Japanese nuclear sector
Rawwater Engineering Company, whose specialist alloy seals for the oil and gas sector are being adapted to support Sellafield decommissioning challenges, announced a contract that will take the company into the Japanese nuclear sector. Japanese energy operator Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) will explore the use of the Rawwater Molten Metal Manipulation (M3) technology across its nuclear power plants. Rawwater’s adaptations of the bismuth metal alloy technology it introduced to the oil and gas industries resulted in a suite of alloys offering significant benefits to the nuclear industry.
The TEPCO deal was brokered by the UK’s National Nuclear Laboratory (NNL), who will monitor the Rawwater project. NNL will produce independent reports for TEPCO that will include results from demonstrations of the technology at their Workington facility in Cumbria.
