6. Anti-corrosion solutions

Like many other industrial sectors, spent nuclear fuel reprocessing plants are looking for solutions to reduce corrosion problems, and thus increase component performance and service life. New approaches to optimized and innovative solutions are being explored.

In the metallurgical field, thanks to recent developments in materials engineering (in advanced surface treatment processes and additive manufacturing) in relation to materials produced by different metallurgical processes (conventional or emerging), research is focusing on nickel, titanium and other alloys.
