EaglePicher Boron

For over 25 years, EaglePicher Boron has produced enriched boron and products containing other stable isotopes — always with an emphasis on safety, innovation and quality. Well-known for its ability to engineer products to suit unique customer applications, EaglePicher Boron is particularly adept at solving problems for the demanding nuclear, semiconductor, and hazardous materials industries.

With the largest boron isotope enrichment facility in the world, EaglePicher Boron continues to be the only commercially viable global enriched boron processor.

EaglePicher Boron maintains a strong commitment to delivering innovative, dependable products such as BondAids – with radioactive absorption qualities – based on technology licensed from the Argonne National Laboratory.

EaglePicher Boron has expanded its line of boron products and stable isotopes to support additional industry demands:

Depleted Zinc / Zinc Injection Additives — Issues with reactor equipment corrosion and emphasis on reduction of radioactive exposure of power plant workers has increased the focus on these materials. EaglePicher Boron is one of the few companies that offers this highly specialized group of water chemistry additives.

⁷Lithium products — First to provide these products for nuclear plant use, EaglePicher Boron initially converted residual materials from U.S. Government enrichment programs into compounds usable in nuclear power plants. The company has continued to supply ⁷Lithium products by maintaining strong relationships with global sources of supply.

BondAids — Based on technology licensed from Argonne National Laboratory, the initial commercialization of these specialized products provides customers with new choices versus more complicated, process-intensive technologies, and will focus on:

• Criticality control and shielding in radioactive applications
• Treatment and disposal of radioactive, hazardous waste and contaminated equipment
