When technology specialist MG
Sanders was faced with a challenging
cleaning issue as part of a €5.3m
contract for the upgrade of the JET
Nuclear Fusion reactor at CCFE,
Culham, Layton
Technologies supported
them to develop a cleaning
specification and process to
achieve UHV designated
component cleanliness.

In total 31,000 parts were
processed for cleanroom assembly of
50 divertor modules. Layton worked
alongside MG Sanders to develop a
cleaning standard that would meet
the requirement of the industry and
the customer, with the parts
cleaning process carried out by
Layton at its North
Staffordshire site.

Layton has solvent and
aqueous cleaning facilities
available for specialist
sub-contract cleaning, as
well as test labs.
