Nuclear Plant Covers & Tarps for Contamination Control

These are the Reef Industries products that nuclear teams order most often. Each is available in stock sizes or custom-fabricated to your specifications. 

• Contaminated Equipment Covers: Reinforced covers for protecting and isolating contaminated components, with fire-retardant and low-contamination options.
• Fire-Retardant Covers: Flame-resistant laminates for areas with ignition sources, hot work, or strict housekeeping requirements.
• Heat-Shrinkable Covers: Patented multi-ply heat-shrinkable laminate that conforms tightly to motors, valves, and pumps for sealed protection during storage and transport.
• Plant Dividers & Dust Partitions: Sized barriers that separate work areas and limit the spread of dust and debris.
• Scaffolding Tarps: Enclosure tarps for containing work performed on scaffolding.
• Reinforced Plastic Sheeting: Cord-reinforced sheeting for general protection, containment, and barrier applications in 6, 8, 10, 12, 16 and 18mil thicknesses.

Foreign Material Exclusion is central to safe plant operation, and finding the right covers and barriers is important to the program's operation. Loose debris, moisture, and airborne particles that reach an open system or a critical component can lead to costly rework and added dose. 

Our nuclear plant covers, tarps, and barriers establish a physical exclusion boundary around equipment, hatches, and work areas, giving FME coordinators a reliable way to keep contaminants where they belong.

Reef Industries' laminates are designed for the conditions found in containment areas and across all supporting nuclear components, auxiliary systems, and nuclear plant infrastructure. Many of our materials carry anti-static properties to limit particle attraction, and our covers can be fabricated with reinforced scrim, heat-sealed seams, grommets, and custom dimensions to fit any component. 

Because we manufacture the laminate and fabricate the finished product in-house, we can match a material grade to your exact application rather than asking you to settle for a stock size.

Fire performance matters in any plant setting. All of our fire-retardant covers are fire-rated and pass NFPA 701 Large Scale "Standard Methods of Fire Tests for Flame-Resistant Textiles and Films," and most carry a Class I / Class A flame spread rating per UBC-42 and ASTM E-84. 

Fire-retardant grades are reinforced with a high-strength cord grid to resist tearing, and covers can be labeled with the applicable fire-retardant specification and designation when required.

For equipment that needs a tight, protective seal during storage or transport, our heat-shrinkable covers conform closely to the contours of motors, valves, pumps, and other components. Griff-Shrink® is a patented multi-ply heat-shrinkable laminate that combines polyethylene and specialty shrink films over a reinforcement grid, creating uniform tear resistance in all directions. 

Several grades are available, including a 3-ply VCI laminate and a heavy-duty 5-ply VCI build. For applications centered on critical materials or work areas, Griffolyn® TX-1600FR UVS is UV-stabilized, heat-shrinkable, reinforced, and fire-retardant in a single material.

Beyond covers, plants rely on us for contaminated equipment covers, plant dividers and dust partitions, scaffolding tarps, and reinforced plastic containment products that support both routine maintenance and large capital projects. During refueling outages, when access windows are short and dose budgets are tight, having barriers and covers ready to your specifications keeps work moving. 

The same products support decommissioning and waste handling, ensuring reliable containment of contaminated material to protect workers and the surrounding site. Each item can be customized with the colors, sizes, and material specifications your procedures call for.
