GNF3 features and benefits

Utilizing our existing10x10lattice design,proven materials,and evolutionary bundle design changes,GNF reduces regulatory hurdles and offers remarkable speed to market over its competition.GNF’s GESTAR II generic compliance process enables us to migrate through the regulatory process with less, allowing customers to take advantage of the cost savings and reliability benefits today。

NSF channels

Zircaloy infused with1%niobium(Nb),1%tin(S、Sn),and 0.35%Iron(F、Fe.This formulation makes the channels high ly resistant to destructive channel distortion.(See an image of a pre-oxidized NSF channel at right。Pre-oxidizing the surface improves manufacturability.)

机械distortion solution

NSF significantly decreases channel bowing and bulging—caused by so-called“shadow corrosion”—and the need for operational testing。It is up to five times more resistant to channel distortion than the standard Ziracloy-2found in other fuel bundles currently operating in the world’s BWR fleet。
