ZIRLO® material is an advanced zirconium-based alloy that has high corrosion resistance to reactor coolant, fuel and fission products. This means that tubing made with ZIRLO can tolerate longer reactor cycle lengths at higher temperatures without reducing a power plant’s operating margins.

Imagine producing enough high-quality nuclear fuel tubing to encircle the Earth more than three-and-a-quarter times. Imagine generations of families working for the same company, and even in the same facility. Imagine 20 percent of the current plant population having a family member who worked at the facility. For the employees of the Westinghouse plant in Blairsville, Pennsylvania (USA), these contributions to the nuclear industry and the world are a reality.
