As global nuclear ambitions surge, the industry’s fuel supply chain faces critical gaps. Can advanced fuels like HALEU (high-assay low-enriched uranium) and TRISO (TRi-structural ISOtropic particle ...

Leading figures from across the fuel cycle say they are ready to meet increased demand, but set out areas where change is required to help make it happen, in a World Nuclear Symposium session. More ...

Outdone only by nuclear fusion, the process of nuclear fission releases enormous amounts of energy. The ‘spicy rocks’ that are at the core of both natural and artificial fission reactors are generally ...

Nuclear reactors use fuel that is manufactured in a so-called nuclear fuel cycle that begins with mining, then moves to enrichment, fuel fabrication and then is consumed in a reactor. Afterwards the ...

It is a time of great opportunity for nuclear - but fuel cycle players must work together to seize the moment and make sure the fuel cycle is ready to support a global tripling of nuclear energy. This ...

Workers in nuclear installations of are special concern from an occupational radiation protection standpoint. The process of taking uranium ore from the earth and converting it into useable fuel and ...
