About ANEEL Platform
ANEEL is Clean Core Thorium Energy’s advanced thorium nuclear fuel platform. It combines fuel design and R&D, physical performance data, proprietary modelling, intellectual property and know-how, supply-chain development, and licensing expertise.
The platform supports reactor-specific fuel solutions that are backwards compatible into the existing fleet and forwards innovative for next-generation nuclear technologies.

Nuclear power is entering a new growth cycle, with global capacity expected to expand significantly over the coming decades. More reactors mean more fuel and greater demand across the nuclear fuel cycle.
Meeting that growth requires expanding the nuclear fuel resource base while improving how efficiently nuclear material is used. New fuel solutions can help nuclear capacity grow without simply scaling the constraints of today’s uranium-based fuel system.

Thorium expands the nuclear resource base beyond uranium alone. There is more than 1,000 times more usable thorium-232 than naturally occurring uranium-235, while thorium resources are also more geographically distributed.
Thorium also offers favourable fuel characteristics, including improved fuel stability, lower operating temperatures and a higher melting point, alongside proliferation resistance and U-233 breeding potential.

ANEEL is designed as a flexible fuel platform for existing and next-generation nuclear technologies. Its applications span pressurised heavy water reactors, light water reactors and advanced reactor designs, with reactor-specific fuels developed from the same underlying platform.
Beyond terrestrial power generation, thorium fuel technology also has potential applications in space power, maritime and nuclear propulsion, hydrogen production, desalination and other energy-intensive applications.
