TRIGA International, a joint venture between France’s Framatome and US General Atomics, has manufactured its first fuel element in more than 10 years. The fuel was fabricated at Framatome’s recently restored manufacturing facility at Romans-sur-Isère in France. The company completed a three-year $80m renovation project in 2021 funded by the US Department of Energy (DOE) and TRIGA International to restart its fuel production. During the renovation, DOE provided 76 lightly used TRIGA fuel elements to US research reactors to help meet immediate needs.

The first batch of fuel is expected to be delivered to the US by 2023 and will be the first new Triga fuel elements produced in more than nine years.
Triga International is the world’s only Triga fuel supplier. The company completed a major renovation project last year in Romans, France with support from the DOE and restarted its fuel production in December for the first time since 2012.
Framatome and General Atomics created the Triga International in 1995 to market Triga fuel elements manufactured at Romans.
