  • snuppelina does this sentence sound ok to you?
  • "to be fulfilled" is true of all requirements.
  • There are no other kinds of requirements.
  • For this reason, even though the phrase is not wrong, I would omit it and use "for", thus: We specified the requirements for the construction of state-of-the-art accelerators that could be used for the production of nuclei.
  • Also, if accelerators are always used only for the production of nuclei (and I don't know the physics of this), then you can shorten your sentence by leaving that out.
