Boron Products, LLC developed enriched sodium pentaborate to meet the changing needs of the boiling water reactors. Sodium pentaborate is used in the standby liquid control systems which are designed to flood the reactor core with a 10B solution in the case of an emergency. Our ability to produce enriched sodium pentaborate customized for each reactor's conditions eliminates the need for costly and confusing mixing of enriched boric acid and natural borax at the reactor site.
More recently, the use of higher fuel enrichments and the popularity of MOX fuels have placed further demands on reactivity controls at boiling water reactor sites. Enriched sodium pentaborate provides an excellent solution for these new requirements.
