US nuclear recycling plant could extract 100 times more energy from uranium fuel
A US startup has joined forces with the nation’s first national laboratory to recycle ...
Nuclear power may be the answer to our energy problems, but if that's true, why are we tossing out the fuel rods when they still have some life?
NY-based BLSK Energy has signed a CRADA with Argonne National Laboratory to commercialize pyroprocessing technology that ...
Argonne pioneered pyroprocessing techniques to recycle nuclear fuel. Research and development in pyroprocessing may pay off for fast reactors, which already make very efficient use of natural uranium ...
The supply chain for low-enriched uranium (LEU) and high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU), the feedstock for conventional reactors and advanced SMRs, respectively, is heavily dominated by Russia.
Outdone only by nuclear fusion, the process of nuclear fission releases enormous amounts of energy. The ‘spicy rocks’ that are at the core of both natural and artificial fission reactors are generally ...
