The Danish developer of floating Compact Molten Salt Reactors, Seaborg, has decided to change the fuel type for the initial power barges to low-enriched uranium (LEU) "due to the risks associated with developing a sufficient supply of high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU)" to meet its planned timeline.

Denmark’s Seaborg Technologies has confirmed its decision to change the fuel type for its first Compact Molten Salt Reactors (CMSRs) from HALEU to low-enriched uranium (LEU) "due to the risks associated with a developing a sufficient supply of high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU)" to meet its planned timeline. According to Seaborg’s website, detailed design is expected to begin in 2024 with the first barge operating in 2028.

A new method to extract molybdenum-99 (Mo-99) from low-enriched uranium targets, developed by researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), could significantly reduce the radioactive waste produced during the production of the isotope. Mo-99 is the precursor for medical radioisotope technetium-99m (Tc-99m) used in more than 85% of all nuclear medicine diagnostic examinations.

The Danish nuclear reactor company Seaborg Technologies is currently completing important experiments in collaboration with both experts from Neutron and Muon Source (ISIS) at Oxford (UK) and European Spallation Source (ESS) research centre in Lund in Sweden. The goal is to understand how neutrons in modern reactors behave. The new knowledge should allow Seaborg to optimise their reactor design. The company is aiming for 2025 for having its first reactor online. Seaborg is developing compact thorium-based Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs).

Nuvia (UK) announced on 29 August that it has secured a multi-million-pound contract for Dounreay Site Restoration Limited (DSRL) to design, procure, install and commission plant and equipment to remove the residual NaK (Sodium-Potassium) remaining in the Dounreay Fast Reactor’s (DFR) complex piping network. DFR was built during the 1950s at a time when there was a worldwide shortage of uranium for electricity generation and became the world’s first fast reactor to provide electricity to a national grid.
