With the rapid development of nuclear power, the application of lead in the field of nuclear power is more and more extensive. The main role of lead in nuclear power is as a radiation shielding material, which can effectively absorb and isolate radioactive substances and protect the safety of personnel and the environment. In addition, lead can be used to make coolant and control materials for reactors, as well as magnetic confinement materials in nuclear fusion experiments.

The continuous progress of technology, the application range of nuclear power is also expanding. Even controlled nuclear fusion requires large amounts of lead to ensure the safety and stability of the reaction. At the same time, lead is also one of the essential materials in the construction of nuclear power plants, used to make the reactor protective coating and piping system.
