Nuclear Power
Radiation- and high-temperature-resistant insulation for nuclear power — auxiliary piping, fire compartments, waste storage and valve seals using calcium silicate and ceramic fiber.
Nuclear power plants demand insulation that is both high-temperature capable and radiation tolerant, while meeting strict fire-safety codes. Material selection favors dense, stable products that keep their integrity under thermal and radioactive load, and ceramic-fiber seals that survive valve cycling without degradation.
Material Comparison
| Material | Best fit | Service temp | Key advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Calcium silicate | Auxiliary piping, compartments, waste | 600-1000°C | Radiation + heat resistant, structural |
| Ceramic fiber | Valve seals, equipment, fire doors | 800-1200°C | High-temp, flexible seal |
Application Scenarios
Nuclear Power Application Scenarios
- Reactor auxiliary piping — calcium silicate insulation withstands high temperature and radiation.
- Plant fire compartments — calcium silicate fills high-strength fire divisions.
- Radioactive waste storage containers — calcium silicate layers limit temperature rise of containment.
- Reactor valve seals — ceramic fiber gaskets resist heat and radiation under cycling.
- Nuclear equipment insulation — ceramic fiber on steam generators, main pumps and high-temp equipment.
- Nuclear fire doors — ceramic fiber cores with excellent high-temperature performance.
