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.

The US Department of Energy has agreed a nine-year contract with TRIGA International to secure new fuel elements for its TRIGA research reactors. These will be the first fuel elements to be fabricated since the recent reopening of TRIGA International's fuel fabrication facility in France, which shut for refurbishment in 2012.

Partially used irradiated fuel from the Finnish Reactor 1 (FiR1) in Espoo, Finland, has been transported to the USA for use in a similar TRIGA Mark II research reactor operated by the US Geological Survey in Denver, Colorado. Dismantling of the Finnish reactor, which was shut down in 2015, is scheduled to begin at the end of 2022.
