Fastener Solutions For Nuclear Projects

We manufacture fully traceable, high-integrity fasteners for nuclear power and scientific applications, engineered to meet the strictest safety and performance standards.

Supporting critical nuclear projects with expertise and reliability

At West Special Fasteners, we understand the unique demands of the nuclear sector and scientific engineering projects. From stringent quality standards to the need for absolute traceability, your operations rely on components that meet uncompromising specifications. That’s why we partner with power generation companies, scientific institutions, and contractors around the world to supply precision-manufactured fasteners tailored to these critical environments.

Whether for nuclear power plants, research reactors, or advanced scientific installations, our bespoke fastener solutions deliver the reliability and compliance that your projects demand. With decades of experience and a robust quality management system, we ensure every component is engineered to perform flawlessly, even in the most challenging conditions.

Tailored fasteners for nuclear applications

The nuclear industry demands a level of precision and assurance that few manufacturers can achieve. At West Special Fasteners, we specialise in custom fasteners crafted from high-performance alloys, designed to withstand radiation, extreme temperatures, and corrosive environments.

Our hot forging capabilities — one of only a handful in the UK — allow us to produce fasteners with exceptional structural integrity, while our comprehensive inspection processes guarantee each part meets rigorous specifications. From bolts and studs to nuts and special machined components, we manufacture to your exact drawings and technical requirements.

Our fasteners are used in:

• Nuclear power plants and reactor assemblies

• Steam turbines and heat exchangers

• Fuel handling systems

• Pressure vessels and containment

• Experimental reactors and laboratory setups

Engineered to withstand the harshest environments

Fasteners used in nuclear and scientific settings are often exposed to aggressive conditions, including high temperatures, pressure, radiation, and corrosive media. To meet these challenges, we offer components manufactured from a wide range of specialist alloys, including:

• Duplex and super duplex stainless steels for superior corrosion resistance
• Nickel alloys (e.g., Inconel, Monel) for extreme temperature and chemical environments
• Hastelloy and other exotic materials for highly corrosive processes

With each order, we work closely with your engineering teams to select the optimal material grade, design, and heat treatment, ensuring long-term performance and safety.
