Panelists talk domestic enrichment expansion at Global 2026
What fuels the future of nuclear? Whether it is low-enriched uranium, LEU+, or high-assay low-enriched uranium, one of the answers is in the question itself: fuel.
Earlier this week, the American Nuclear Society’s Fuel Cycle & Waste Management Division hosted Global 2026, with the theme of “Deploying Sustainable Nuclear Fuel Cycles.”
During one plenary session, “Fueling the Future of Nuclear,” panelists from Urenco USA, Centrus Energy, General Matter, and Global Laser Enrichment shared with attendees how the companies were contributing to the front end of the fuel cycle—more specifically, by launching or expanding their respective enrichment services.

Wireless technologies have found their way into the existing fleet of nuclear reactors for equipment condition assessment, voice and data communication, and process monitoring. Power plants throughout the world are in various stages of this implementation. The goal of this panel is to provide a status of wireless technology deployment within the nuclear industry, discuss the existing and potential future applications for the technology, outline the obstacles to its implementation including methods for addressing these barriers, and provide insight into future research needs to expand the use of wireless technologies. Panelists from around the globe will provide a short presentation on their activities within this area followed by a moderated Q&A session.
