The nuclear fuel cycle is the series of industrial processes that turns uranium into electricity. Claire Maden takes a look ...

For the first time, nuclear fuel enriched above 5% will be irradiated in a commercial U.S. reactor, the Department of Energy ...

Nuclear energy has been booming since 2022 as many countries seek to add reliable but zero-carbon electricity generation ...

And if that wasn't enough to give a nuclear engineer a haunted look, there's the problem of fabricating the fuel for the reactor. You can't use metallic uranium like in conventional fuel rods.

Extracting uranium from seawater using electrochemical tech offers a cleaner, scalable solution as land-based resources run dry.

Uranium is the primary fuel for nuclear reactors and must be managed properly, in a safe and sustainable manner. Recent annual production of natural uranium world-wide has been between 55,000 and ...

Sufficient uranium resources exist to support both the continued use of nuclear power and its significant growth through 2050 and beyond. However, timely investments in new exploration, mining ...

The analysis revealed that the first piece of debris contained uranium and zirconium, a metal used in the cladding that encases fuel rods. JAEA said the debris was formed from melted nuclear fuel ...

"Urenco is a valued supplier of enriched uranium. They will play an important role in providing nuclear fuel for our eVinci microreactor, which is a safe, simple and economical clean-energy solution ...

Small modular reactor (SMR) developers in the U.S. have announced a string of deals and investments to secure steady supplies of HALEU nuclear fuel amid fears that the lack of a domestic nuclear ...
