The African Commission On Nuclear Energy (AFCONE) and US-based DeepGEO have signed a partnership agreement paving the way for expanding nuclear energy in Africa and establishing a fully autonomous African nuclear supply chain. The African Nuclear Energy Funding Initiative (ANEFI) agreement supports the development of multinational repositories for high level nuclear waste in Africa to promote regional governance and secure financing for vital infrastructure development. DeepGEO said this “enhances the sustainability of nuclear energy worldwide, and boosts sustainable development in a continent that is expected to become home to 25% of the global population by the year 2050”.

The Orano group and US-based SHINE Technologies have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with a view to developing a pilot plant in the USA for recycling used nuclear fuel from light water reactors. The material recovered from the used fuel will be able to be re-used to fabricate new nuclear fuel for advanced and existing reactor designs. Certain radioactive isotopes extracted during the process could also be used for other industrial and medical applications.
