TerraPower has signed a term sheet with ASP Isotopes Inc for the construction of a uranium enrichment facility in South Africa and a supply agreement for fuel delivery for the Natrium small modular reactor.

Micro modular reactor and TRISO fuel company Ultra Safe Nuclear Corporation says it is seeking to run a sale process after filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the USA.

France's Framatome has signed a contract for the long-term supply of fuel to the four VVER-440 reactors in operation at Hungary's Paks nuclear power plant, starting from 2027.

The nuclear fuel for the first load at the research reactor being built in Bolivia has been manufactured and accepted, with delivery of the first batch of fuel assemblies planned for 2025.

Framatome’s GAIA fuel assemblies with PROtect Enhanced Accident Tolerant Fuel technology have completed their third 18-month fuel cycle at Georgia Power's Plant Vogtle, having spent over four and a half years in an operating reactor. This concludes the assessment of the lead fuel assemblies.

Orano has created two specific 'sharing groups' which bring together the main designers of innovative fast neutron reactors in France. These groups, it says, are open to all designers of these types of reactors who wish to join.

A range of future nuclear fuel developments, such as 24-month fuel campaigns with fuel enriched beyond 5%, will help Russia to hit its nuclear capacity targets, a conference has heard.

The US Department of Energy has approved the Conceptual Safety Design Report for Oklo Inc's Aurora Fuel Fabrication Facility at Idaho National Laboratory. The facility will fabricate fuel for the Aurora "powerhouse" liquid metal-cooled fast reactor plant which is to be located at the same site.
