The company said it manufactured the first fuel element in over a decade, in a move to ramp up supply of the fuel for Triga type reactors in the US and overseas.
Framatome said Triga International, a joint venture with US-based General Atomics, will be charged with boosting production with the support of the US Department of Energy (DOE).
Last month, the DOE and Triga International signed a nine-year contract to secure new fuel elements for half of the US’ university-operated research reactors.
The first batch of fuel is expected to be delivered to the US by the end of 2023.
