1040 The PFM facility makes use 1040 of the identical production-scale modules 1040 for manufacturing 1040 TRISO coated gasoline particles 1040 and the corporate’s patented 1040 Absolutely Ceramic-Microencapsulated (FCM) gasoline that 1040 may go into Extremely Secure 1040 Nuclear’s future industrial gasoline manufacturing 1040 facility. PFM is a radiological 1040 facility able to producing FCM 1040 for testing and qualification in 1040 multiple-kilogram portions. Within the course 1040 of, PFM can even codify 1040 and show the manufacturing modules 1040 that might be used within 1040 the firm’s future industrial gasoline 1040 manufacturing manufacturing unit.
