Clean Core Thorium Energy announced that BWX Technologies–owned Kinectrics will conduct an independent technical review of its ANEEL (Advanced Nuclear Energy for Enriched Life) fuel qualification program.
According to CCTE, Kinectrics will review key aspects of the fuel design, manufacturing, safety, and regulatory readiness.

Clean Core Thorium Energy has announced the completion of its nearly two-year ANEEL fuel irradiation testing and qualification campaign at Idaho National Laboratory.
The idea behind ANEEL (Advanced Nuclear Energy for Enriched Life) fuel is to provide existing pressurized heavy water reactors with a fuel option that has increased high-burnup performance without requiring any modification to the reactors.
