But this "spent" fuel generally retains about 95 percent of the uranium it started with, and that uranium can be recycled. Over the past four decades, America's reactors have produced about 56,000 ...

The fuel, called high-assay low-enriched uranium, or HALEU, is enriched to levels of up to 20%, compared with about 5% for the fuel that powers most existing reactors.

Vice President JD Vance said Monday he believed Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile is buried beneath three nuclear facilities bombed by the US over the weekend — though other officials and experts fear ...

US microreactor technology company NANO Nuclear Energy Inc has signed a memorandum of understanding with Buenos Aires-based private uranium exploration company UrAmerica Ltd to help modernise and ...

Further testing is on the way. Scientists announce surprising results after testing futuristic 'Holy Grail' nuclear facility: 'Like securing a seat on the only flight to the moon' first appeared on ...

A special uranium fuel planned for next-generation U.S. nuclear reactors poses security risks because it could be used without further enrichment as fissile material in nuclear weapons, scientists ...

New nuclear fuel made from U and Th, called ANEEL, can address several issues with nuclear power – cost, proliferation and waste, especially when used in CANDU/PHWR reactors. And it will be here ...

TRISO fuel was first developed in the United States and United Kingdom in the 1960s with uranium dioxide fuel. In 2002, the Department of Energy (DOE) focused on improving TRISO fuel using uranium ...

Advanced nuclear reactors need a different type of uranium. Here’s 4 things to know . Questions about the fuel, called high-assay low-enriched uranium, remain ...

Like all other actinides, uranium is “radioactive” – it decays over time and releases energy in the process. Its special properties make uranium the main source of fuel for nuclear reactors — a ...

Lithuanian nuclear operator SE Ignalina on Wednesday signed a memorandum of understanding with France-based firm Newcleo to explore the deployment of advanced lead-cooled fast reactor (LFR) technology ...

As nuclear energy stages a comeback globally, the U.S. is reviving domestic uranium production to reduce the risk of a critical fuel shortage in the future. Graphic: Ryan Trefes ...
