Fine Tubes granted F4N status by Nuclear AMRC

Plymouth, U.K.-based Fine Tubes, a manufacturer and global supplier of precision tubes for critical applications, has completed the Fit for Nuclear (F4N) program run by the Nuclear Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC). The F4N service is designed to help U.K. manufacturing companies win contracts in the civil nuclear supply chain by measuring their operations against exacting industry standards.

The company’s involvement in the nuclear power industry began when it started supplying nuclear fuel cans to the U.K.’s first generation of gas-cooled reactors. Since then the firm has manufactured products for AGR, pressurized-water, light-water, heavy-water, and fast-breeder reactor technologies.
