NuScale Power and Enfission have signed a memorandum of understanding to research future nuclear fuel technology in NuScale's reactors. The two companies are working together on the development of advanced reactor systems that can be used for both electricity generation and power production. Enfission claims its fuel rod design will increase performance, extend life, reduce refuelling outages and achieve a reduced levelised energy cost.
NuScale Power and Enfission have signed a memorandum of understanding to research future nuclear fuel technology in NuScale's reactors. Enfission, a joint venture between Lightbridge and Framatome, is developing nuclear fuel technology that it claims will improve the safety and performance of reactors, including NuScale's small modular reactors. Enfission claims its fuel rod design will increase performance, extend life, reduce refuelling outages and achieve a reduced levelised energy cost.
