What Are Applications of Tungsten Alloys In Nuclear Energy?

Tungsten alloys have a variety of applications in the nuclear energy field:

  1. High-gravity tungsten alloys are used as fuel rods and components in nuclear reactors. Due to its high density and excellent radiation absorption capabilities, it can effectively control the nuclear fission process and improve the safety and efficiency of nuclear reactors.
  2. Tungsten alloys are also used as material walls in nuclear fusion research. They remain stable and can withstand high temperatures and other extreme environmental conditions.
  3. The shielding performance of tungsten alloy is 30 to 40% higher than that of lead, so it is used as an ideal nuclear fuel storage and radiation shielding material. For example, high-density tungsten alloy is used as a radioactive source container, and its wall thickness is only 1/2~2/3 that of lead.
