Framatome and Germany’s Technical University of Munich (TUM) have signed a cooperation agreement to establish an industrial manufacturing process for molybdenum-uranium (U-Mo) monolithic fuel for TUM’s Forschungs-Neutronenquelle Heinz Maier-Leibnitz (FRM II) research reactor in Germany. This low-enriched fuel will benefit from the highest uranium fuel density ever realised in Europe for research reactor operations.

The US Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Savannah River Site (SRS) says the H Canyon facility recently initiated actions to recycle a small amount of used highly enriched uranium (HEU) stored in the Site’s H Area in order to down-blend it into high-assay low enriched uranium (HALEU). “The projected demand for HALEU far exceeds the current supply,” said HALEU Programme Manager Jeff Hasty for Savannah River Nuclear Solutions, the site’s managing and operating contractor.

The US Administration has issued a new report, “US Innovation to Meet 2050 Climate Goals: Assessing Initial R&D Opportunities,” setting out initial priorities that will enable it to reach net-zero by 2050. The 26-page White House report identifies five initial priorities to help the USA meet the goal of cutting greenhouse gases by 50-52% by 2030 and to achieve net-zero no later than 2050. These are:

Westinghouse Electric Company have announced a partnership with EDF to explore the functionalities of Westinghouse’s EnCore enhanced Accident Tolerant Fuel (ATF) technology. Westinghouse will study its EnCore fuel in an EDF reactor for potential deployment across the EDF nuclear fleet after 2030. This will be the largest R&D programme on enhanced fuel that Westinghouse has conducted in Europe to date.

The Egyptian Atomic Energy Organisation (EAEA) and the Novosibirsk Chemical Concentrates Plant (NCCP – part of Rosatom’s TVEL fuel company) have signed contract documents for the supply to Egypt in 2022 of the next batch of low-enriched nuclear fuel components for Egypt’s ETRR-2 research reactor. This comes within the framework of a long-term framework contract for the export to Egypt of nuclear fuel components concluded in 2020. The product range includes uranium components as well as aluminium alloy and aluminium powder products. Cooperation with Egypt in the supply of fuel components for the ETRR-2 has been developed over more than five years “which is a good prerequisite for the development of cooperation in the future”, said Alexei Zhiganin, Director General of NCCP.
