The company said it manufactured the first fuel element in over a decade, in a move to ramp up supply of the fuel for Triga type reactors in the US and overseas.
Framatome said Triga International, a joint venture with US-based General Atomics, will be charged with boosting production with the support of the US Department of Energy (DOE).
Last month, the DOE and Triga International signed a nine-year contract to secure new fuel elements for half of the US’ university-operated research reactors.
The first batch of fuel is expected to be delivered to the US by the end of 2023.

Of the 220 research reactors in operation today, only seven are on the African continent. In other words, with 17.2% of the world population and the strongest expected growth in the coming years, Africans have access to only 3% of the world's nuclear research reactor capacity. Marguerite Leonardi, senior advisor at NPC Consulting & Engineering, and Professor Vincent Lukanda Mwamba, Commissaire Général of the Commissariat Général à l’Energie Atomique, explain why that is a concern and why the research reactor in Kinshasa should be restarted urgently.
