From South Korea to Belgium: Testing a high-density research reactor fuel
The Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute has developed a high-density uranium silicide fuel designed to replace high-enriched uranium in research reactors. Recent irradiation tests appear to be successful, KAERI reports, which means the fuel could be commercialized to continue a key global nuclear nonproliferation effort—converting research reactors to run on low-enriched uranium fuel.

With 2023 around the corner and the midterm elections behind us, the upcoming two-year congressional period brings new opportunities and challenges for nuclear science and technology policy. The nuclear industry enjoyed several federal policy wins over the past two years. The Energy Act of 2020, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, CHIPS and Science Act, and Inflation Reduction Act expanded our industry’s blueprint. It’s time to explore the implementation phase of recently enacted policy provisions and other aspects of nuclear science and technology policy progression. Our diverse group of panelists will examine tax credits, domestic fuel, isotope R&D, regulatory progress, international cooperation, and spent fuel possibilities in the upcoming congressional period.
