The development of commercial advanced nuclear reactors intended to help combat climate change and enhance national security will need a better supply of the right type of nuclear fuel, U.S. officials said.
The U.S. Department of Energy sent out a request to companies that might be interested in participating to send ideas concerning its plans to establish a program to ensure the availability of high-assay low-enriched uranium, or HALEU.
Information received will be used to prepare a report for Congress. It could also lead to the Energy Department taking the next step and asking companies to submit more detailed plans on how they might supply the nuclear fuel.
The $1 trillion infrastructure law President Biden signed in November contains $2.5 billion for the DOE’s two advanced reactor demonstration projects, which will need HALEU. Read the full story here.
Effective immediately, CMEI will be divided into three pillars, each of which will be led by a corresponding Deputy Assistant Secretary.
