Read the guideA wide range of steels is used throughout a nuclear power plant, falling into two main categories — each chosen for a specific, safety-critical role.
Carbon steels provide the primary structural work — the reactor pressure vessel and containment buildings — where strength and pressure integrity are paramount. Stainless steels are used wherever corrosion resistance is critical, such as piping, pumps, valves and storage tanks.
Traceability from the steel mill through processing to the finished article is paramount, and steel must originate only from a specified list of countries with a proven nuclear track record — standards Brown McFarlane meets on every order.
Nuclear-grade steel isn’t a single specification — it’s steel that meets the sector’s stringent integrity, traceability and quality-assurance requirements at every stage.
That means full material traceability from mill to delivery, supply chains audited by the highest industry inspectorates, an approved country of origin, and comprehensive certification — including 3.2 material certificates as standard. We operate under EN 9001, EN 14001 and EN 18001, and hold EN 1090 Execution Class 4 — the highest standard for structural steelwork, essential for critical nuclear applications.
