Ultra Safe Nuclear Corporation announced that a technology breakthrough in its patented Fully Ceramic Microencapsulated fuel allows a fuel geometry that results in both higher power and increased safety, enabling its Micro-Modular Reactor to produce three times more power.

Westinghouse has been awarded three grants totalling GBP10.5 million (USD13.6 million) from the UK government's Nuclear Fuel Fund to upgrade and expand the Springfields fuel fabrication facility in Lancashire in northwest England.

A lead assembly of Framatome's 100% Enhanced Accident Tolerant Fuel has successfully completed its first cycle of operation at a US nuclear power plant. The assembly was inserted into unit 2 of the Calvert Cliffs plant in Maryland during a refueling outage in early 2021.

Specialists from Rosatom's TVEL have told an international nuclear fuel conference that the Russian-designed TVS-K fuel for Western-design pressurised water reactors had demonstrated "excellent behaviour under commercial operating conditions".

The Bulgarian Nuclear Regulatory Agency said it has received an application requesting the issuance of a permit for the use of Westinghouse-manufactured VVER-1000 fuel in unit 5 of the country's Kozloduy nuclear power plant. Westinghouse has signed a decade-long contract to supply fuel for the reactor.

An official ceremony has been held to mark the issuing of licences from the Bangladesh Atomic Energy Regulatory Authority for nuclear fuel, which is expected to be delivered to the Rooppur nuclear power plant later this year.

TerraPower and Centrus Energy Corp have signed a memorandum of understanding to significantly expand their collaboration aimed at establishing commercial-scale, US production capabilities for high-assay, low-enriched uranium to supply TerraPower's first-of-a-kind Natrium reactor and energy storage system.

A Westinghouse-led consortium has been selected by the European Union to develop and deliver a "fully European" nuclear fuel supply for Russian-designed VVER pressurised water reactors.

The Danish developer of floating Compact Molten Salt Reactors, Seaborg, has decided to change the fuel type for the initial power barges to low-enriched uranium "due to the risks associated with developing a sufficient supply of high-assay low-enriched uranium" to meet its planned timeline.

Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power and SN Nuclearelectrica have signed a memorandum of understanding for cooperation in nuclear fuel as part of their strategies to "further develop fuel processing and ensure the resilience of fuel production capabilities".

The joint report by the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission and the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission establishes a common regulatory position on tristructural isotropic fuel qualification, for use in the licensing of advanced reactor and small modular reactor technologies.

Framatome has signed a collaboration agreement with EDF to test its PROtect enhanced accident tolerant fuel technology. Under the agreement, four lead fuel assemblies will be loaded into one of EDF's French reactors by the end of this year.
