Norton PMUC Nuclear Cutting Wheels

The Norton PMUC Nuclear Cutting Wheel range has been specifically engineered for cutting applications within nuclear power plants and other highly regulated environments. Manufactured to meet stringent PMUC (Products & Materials Used in Nuclear Power Plants) requirements established by EDF, these cutting wheels provide exceptional cutting performance while complying with strict contamination control standards.

Unlike conventional cutting discs, Norton PMUC Nuclear Cutting Wheels are manufactured with tightly controlled levels of halogens and sulphur and are free from prohibited contaminants, making them suitable for maintenance, inspection and operational activities within nuclear facilities. Every PMUC-approved wheel undergoes independent laboratory testing and is approved for use in EDF nuclear power plants.

Manufactured using premium zirconia alumina and aluminium oxide abrasive technology, Norton PMUC Nuclear Cutting Wheels deliver fast cutting speeds, long service life and consistent performance on carbon steel, stainless steel and other ferrous metals. Independent testing has shown that Norton Nuclear cutting wheels provide significantly faster cutting and longer wheel life than comparable products, helping reduce operator exposure time and minimise abrasive waste.
