Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL) is to collaborate with US-based Jubilant Radiopharma to develop alpha radiopharmaceuticals. The joint project comes under CNL’s Canadian Nuclear Research Initiative -Health (CNRI-H) programme. It is part of a broader CNL effort to develop radiopharmaceutical therapies using Actinium-225, a medical isotope produced by CNL.

NRG said the aim of the tests is to demonstrate the safety of the fuel for the 20-year lifespan of Seattle-based USNC’s micro modular reactor. NRG said extensive pre- and post-irradiation tests at its hot cell laboratories will be part of the programme.
FCM fuel is a next-generation tristructural-Isotropic (Triso) particle fuel design, replacing the 50-year-old graphite matrix of traditional Triso fuel with silicon carbide, a material that is extremely resistant to radiation and thermal damage.
The SiC matrix in FCM fuel provides a dense, gas-tight barrier, preventing the escape of fission products even if a Triso particle should rupture during operation. The result is a safer nuclear fuel that can withstand higher temperatures and more radiation.
