Preparations begin for thorium-HALEU fuel regulatory review

Written By Milan Shah

The Chicago-based fuel innovation company is developing ANEEL fuel - the name is taken from Advanced Nuclear Energy for Enriched Life - for use in pressurised heavy water and Candu reactors. High-burnup irradiation testing and qualification of the fuel is currently under way at the Advanced Test Reactor at the US Department of Energy's Idaho National Laboratory (INL), using test pellets manufactured by the company in partnership with Texas A&M University and INL. The company is also collaborating with US company Centrus as a supplier of HALEU.
