3D printed Nuclear Fuel Flow Plates awarded 2024 TCT Industrial Product Application Award

Industrial products work behind the scenes to keep our industries working. Whether it be factory automation equipment, farming tools or material handling machines, there is little that is not touched by an industrial designer.

The 2024 TCT Industrial Product Application Award - Sponsored by JEOL
was awarded to Westinghouse Electric Company for its Commercial Nuclear Fuel Flow Plates.

After Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine put fuel supply at risk, Westinghouse developed the world’s first fully western VVER440 nuclear fuel, with the top and bottom flow plates in every assembly produced with AM.
