Move aimed at supplying crucial research reactors A Triga research reactor at the Jozef Stefan Institute in Slovenia. France’s Framatome has restarted production of metallic fuel for Triga research reactors in the US.

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.
