Swagelok Supports the Nuclear Industry

In the 1950's Swagelok launched its first products specifically designed for the nuclear power plants; the "Nupro" bellows valve brand became the established standard for reliability and performance, and formed the basis of our reputation in the industry. Over the years, we have enhanced that reputation with the addition of other fluid system components to meet the strict codes and standards associated with nuclear power generation. Today, we are one of the few manufacturers whose products are widely used as a first choice for nuclear power applications.

Nuclear Expertise

We can help you meet the immediate and long-term demands of the nuclear power industry safely, reliably, and responsively. Swagelok's standard one-inch and under stainless steel tube fittings meet many global nuclear codes and standards— off the shelf.

Here's how we helped these nuclear projects:

Dedication to quality and reliability leads to longer product life, reducing expensive operational downtime and helping your workers spend less time and resources replacing assemblies. Swagelok products' ease of installation means you're up and running quicker without rework required. This reduces workers' collective radiation doses and the cost impact of that exposure.
