ultra-high vacuum

Nuclear fission and nuclear fusion represent two fundamental processes for harnessing atomic energy, both of which rely on specific technologies to manage and sustain reactions. Although their mechanisms and requirements are different, both fission and fusion reactors can benefit from vacuum components in critical areas. Let’s explore how these components are used.

Synchrotron light sources are among the most advanced tools for scientific research, producing high-intensity, tunable beams of X-rays, infrared, and ultraviolet light.

Nuclear clean energy needs vacuum for controlled environments, efficiency in reactions and safety in nuclear fusion and fission technologies.

Extreme high vacuum (XHV) environments are becoming a popular option for a range of applications i.e. Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE). Given the extreme situations required for XHV, there are a variety of issues that coincide with this. One persistent issue is the removal of hydrogen gas.

Material analysis is a foundation of scientific research and industrial applications, providing critical insights into the composition, structure, and properties of materials. Among the array of techniques available, Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) stands out for its exceptional sensitivity and depth profiling capabilities.
