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.
