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.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has witnessed the start of fuel loading at the Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (PFBR) at Kalpakkam in Tamil Nadu. The PFBR is a 500 MWe sodium-cooled fast breeder nuclear reactor being constructed at Kokkilamedu, near Kalpakkam. The Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research (IGCAR) designed the reactor based on the decades of experience gained from operating the lower power Fast Breeder Test Reactor (FBTR).
