Filters in Nuclear Fission

Maintaining the integrity and efficiency of reactor systems is essential in nuclear fission applications. Filters are critical in ensuring air, water and other process fluids remain free from contaminants, thereby safeguarding personnel, reactor components and the surrounding environment.

Understanding Nuclear Fission Filters

Nuclear fission filters provide specialized filtration to remove particulate matter and contaminants from air and gas streams associated with nuclear processes. They are critical components of air, water and hydraulic systems, designed to ensure safety and compliance with stringent regulatory standards in nuclear research, medicine and power generation.

How Are Filters Used in Nuclear Fission?

Filter applications in nuclear fission are diverse and integral to multiple aspects of nuclear power plant operations:

• Air filtration systems: Air filtration systems are essential for removing potentially radioactive particulates and dust from nuclear fission ventilation systems. These facilities use high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) and ultra low penetration air (ULPA) filters to effectively capture airborne contaminants, protecting the facility personnel and the surrounding community. Additionally, prefilters are employed to reduce the load on HEPA filters, thereby extending their service life and improving overall system efficiency.
• Water filtration systems: Water filtration systems purify coolant and condensate water used in the reactor core and steam generators. These filters remove corrosion products, dissolved solids and radioactive isotopes, preventing them from causing wear and tear on mechanical components or compromising the reactor’s cooling efficiency. Additional water filtration applications in nuclear fission include reactor water cleanup, protection from radioactive exposure in the steam system and removal of irradiated particulates in the reactor cooling pump.
• Hydraulic filtration: Nuclear hydraulic filters keep small particles out of hydraulic fluids used to operate control rod drives, turbine controls, pump systems, waste management and other systems. They promote the smooth operation of hydraulic systems, enhancing nuclear plant safety.
