NRC clears Framatome Richland for TRISO fuel work
NRC approved Framatome Richland to handle under 10% U-235 and make TRISO fuel; Lightbridge and QNI also signed a HALEU supply MoU.
TRISO fuel, explained
TRISO is coated-particle nuclear fuel that keeps fission products inside ceramic layers — the form many advanced reactors and microreactors now specify.
