ANEEL Fuel Pellet
Built on six proprietary capabilities
Backed by industry leaders
ANEEL Fuel
Thorium-based fuel design allowing reactors to unlock superior performance and scalability. Click any card for detail.
Proliferation Resistance
+ Learn more
- Thorium-based fuel architecture enables inherent proliferation resistance
Thorium fuel cycles produce a spent-fuel isotopic mix that is far less attractive for weapons diversion than conventional uranium cycles, supporting non-proliferation goals and simplifying safeguards review with regulators.
High Burnup
+ Learn more
- High burnup performance enables superior operating efficiency
Higher achievable burnup means each fuel assembly stays in the reactor longer before replacement, reducing refuelling frequency and improving capacity factor across the plant's operating cycle.
Less Waste
+ Learn more
- Significant reduction in spent-fuel volume
Higher fuel utilization and burnup translate directly into less spent fuel per unit of energy generated, easing long-term storage and disposal requirements for operators.
ANEEL Fuel Pellet
Flexibility
+ Learn more
- Tailorable for each customer's reactor configuration
- Flexible enrichment levels from LEU+ to HALEU
ANEEL's fuel architecture is adapted per reactor type and licensing basis, letting customers move between enrichment tiers as their qualification pathway and regulatory approvals progress.
Thorium
+ Learn more
- 3× more abundant than Uranium
- Classified as an accident tolerant fuel
Thorium's natural abundance supports a more secure, diversified long-term fuel supply chain, while its material properties contribute to improved accident tolerance under off-normal reactor conditions.
Fuel-Cycle Economy
+ Learn more
- Better economics through higher utilization / reduced waste
- Lower fuel-related manufacturing and operating costs
Combining higher burnup with a leaner supply chain lowers the levelized cost of fuel over the plant's lifetime, versus conventional uranium fuel at equivalent output.
PHWR / LWR / Advanced Ready
Drop-in fuel for multiple reactor applications.
10 Years of Work
CCTE has systematically developed thorium leadership across multiple layers, each independently more difficult to replicate.
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.
