Southern Nuclear recently loaded four lead test assemblies containing Westinghouse Electric Company's ADOPT fuel pellets, enriched up to 6 weight percent of uranium 235, into the reactor. The higher ...

Centrus Energy reported a consecutive stellar quarter, with its transition to uranium enrichment progressing on schedule.

The dispute over uranium enrichment is the flashpoint in U.S.-Iran talks, with Tehran refusing to scale back and Washington warning of weaponization.

The two main types involved in nuclear weapons are Uranium-238 (U-238) and Uranium-235 (U-235). U-238 is the most commonly found form in nature, but it cannot be directly used to make weapons.

In this eye-opening video, we take you on a step-by-step journey through the uranium mining and processing industry, revealing how raw ore is converted into the essential fuel that powers nuclear ...

While traditional sources of fuel spark environmentalists ... it takes only a small amount of uranium to create a large amount of power. A single kilogram of uranium-235 (the most popular ...

Yet, as nuclear falls back into favour, industry experts are warning of a uranium supply crunch in the West, driven by the war in Ukraine, Russian sanctions on uranium imports and the familiar ...

The reactor would be powered through small ceramic coated uranium pellets that are placed in a handheld-sized cylinder called a fuel compact. “Each one of these compacts goes into our graphite core.

Pellets have gained significant popularity as a biomass fuel due to their low environmental impact and cost-effectiveness when compared to traditional fossil fuels like gas and paraffin.

So, traditionally, Canada has been okay with just natural uranium. But now, companies like Cameco want to complete the whole fuel cycle because it has aspirations for advanced reactors ...

The solution: “Make your fuel juicier,” or with a higher percentage of Uranium-235, the active ingredient in a fission reaction. Enter TRISO fuel—high-density Uranium-235 spheres encased in ...
