ZIRCATEC VALUES
1- Meeting CUSTOMER commitments with integrity is our highest
priority.
2- PEOPLE shall be treated with trust, respect and fairness
3- The QUALITY of everything we do must continually be improved.
Theses are the values we live and work by each day.
Zircatec's highly skilled and experienced engineering personnel
have developed specialized manufacturing and inspection equipment
and processes to carry out large scale production of CANDU fuel
to exacting tolerances. Their outstanding success in developing
technically superior processes, along with our operating
personnel's commitment to quality, are evidenced by the
outstanding performance of our fuel.
Ziratec is the largest supplier of CANDU fuel in the world.
Attaining this dominant position in the CANDU fuel market is due
in no small part to the superior quality of the products we
manufacture. Feedback from our customers indicates that our
dedication to quality has made us the quality performance leader
in our field.
To date Zircatec has produced more than 700,000 fuel bundles for
28 CANDU power reactors. These fuel bundles have produced the
energy equivalent of 450 million tons of coal and avoided the
production of 500,000,000 tons of carbon dioxide.
Over the last few years, about 60% of the electricity used in the
Province of Ontario, Canada's industrial heartland, has been
nuclear generated. Zircatec has provided nearly 60% of the fuel
for these reactors. This means Zircatec's fuel has provided
approximately one third of the electricity used in Ontario.
In addition to domestic experience, Zircatec has produced CANDU
type fuel for commercial power reactors, Zircatec also provides
prototype fuel for irradiation testing of advanced fuel designs
such as CANFLEX and Low Enriched Uranium (LEU).
Zircatex is, and has been for many years, the only commercial
fuel manufacturer in Canada with the ability to produce enriched
fuel. Zircatecis licenced to process nuclear fuel with up to 20%
enrichment. Zircatec has provided fuel for development or
research in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom,
Switzerland, Germany, India, Pakistan, France, Taiwan and Japan.
Zircatec also has experience as a supplier of nuclear grade fuel
and UO2 pellets to the U.S. BWR/PWR market.
QUALITY PROGRAM
Zircatec recognized early that a successful Quality Assurance
Program would be essential if products were to be routinely
manufactured to exacting nuclear standards. Zircatec was a
leader in the Canadian nuclear industry in the implementation of
a Quality Assurance Program in a manufacturing environment.
Today, our Quality Assurance Program is second to none and our
outstanding and consistent product quality is a testament to its
success.
Zircatec's fuel manufacturing facility has a fully implemented
Quality Assurance program meeting the requirements of CSA Z299.1.
Our Quality Assurance program also meets the requirements of ISO
9001 and 10CFR50 Appendix B.
For the manufacture of components that form part of the pressure
boundary of the CANDU reactor, Zircatec maintains a Quality
Assurance program that meets the requirements of CSA N285.0 and
ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section III.
Zircatec's dedicated team of professionals is ready to meet your
requirements for : - Nuclear Fuel
- Nuclear Grade Zircaloy Tubing
- Nuclear Reactor Components
- Product Development
- Manufacturing Process Development
- Technology Transfer

Technology:
The Zircatec manufacturing processes are the most technically
advanced, reliable and efficient processes for the production of
high quality CANDU nuclear fuel. Zircatec has developed a very
flexible modular system for manufacture if CANDU fuel. This
modular system allows fuel to be produced efficiently even at
relatively low throughput rates. It is the technical superiority
of the Zircatec processes that has enabled Zircatec to dominate
the CANDU fuel market in Canada.
Zircatec's flexible manufacturing system lends itself readily to
production of enriched fuel. Zircatec is the only fuel
manufacturer in Canada that has a licence for enriched fuel and
the only one with experience in the manufacture of advanced
design fuels such as CANFLEX.
The same advanced technology that has made Zircatec the largest
and most efficient manufacturer of CANDU fuel in the world can be
made available to clients around the world. The technology
transfer services we provide range from a preliminary assessment
of the feasibility of manufacture of CANDU fuel in the clients
home country to provision of a complete turnkey fuel plant and
everything in between.
Zircatec can also provide transfer of technology for the
manufacture of items other than CANDU fuel. The manufacture of
high precision seamless zirconium alloy tubing for use in nuclear
fuel of all types is a particular area of Zircatec expertise.
The manufacturing technology for each of the Zircatec products
listed in this brochure, including seam-welded tubing and reactor
components, can be provided to interested parties.
