With 100 million components, 100 million welds, and 130,000 spacers, Caran Precision is the most elite nuclear fuel hardware manufacturing source.
Our early involvement in the nuclear industry has kept us ahead in the design and manufacturing of spacer components, assembled and laser-welded spacers, channel and bundle hardware, and advanced reactor hardware. One of the first companies to harness the power of automation, we use progressive die stamping, vision-guided laser welders, spring force measurement systems, and vision systems for measuring dimensions of assemblies and components. When working in such variable conditions, customers need products that keep them stable and safe.
Caran’s strict adherence to elevated quality procedures and standards has resulted in zero reactor problems resulting from hardware over its 50+-year existence. Six Sigma mistake-proofing, spring force spacer measuring, and automated rod spacings are just some of the safety features that Caran Precision initiates throughout all its processes. Caran Precision is also fully certified to manufacture nuclear fuel components. We have been audited by numerous nuclear fuel suppliers, utilities, and regulatory agencies and are recognized as meeting all 10CFR50 Appendix B and NQA-1 requirements. We are also certified to ISO 9000 by Orion Registrar.
