These reactors all have key common features in the form of the graphite moderator and TRISO (Tri-structural ISOtropic, also known as Coated Particle Fuel (CPF)) fuel. As part of the UK government's CPF programme, UKNNL is working towards the production of graphite matrix material for use in TRISO fuel. To produce this material, phenolic resin, suitable solvents and graphite powders are mixed and kneaded until they become homogenous, typically for several hours at a controlled temperature. UKNNL are seeking a supplier to provide a kneader to support this material production. The kneader must be combined with a cold trap for vacuum drying of the solvent. ## CPV classification Mixer units Source Find a Tender (UK) · Notice ocds-h6vhtk-068978-2026-04-23T12:04:36+01:00 [View official notice](https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/ocds-h6vhtk-068978-2026-04-23T12:04:36+01:00) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
