Raw uranium must then be processed, and sometimes enriched, in order to maximise its efficiency as fuel. After being irradiated in reactors, the spent fuel needs to be stored to cool down before being ...

A key facet of the program envisions integrating reprocessed uranium and plutonium from SNF into Russia’s nuclear energy ecosystem. An explicit goal is to close the nuclear fuel cycle for ...

The plant is currently undergoing a planned engineering shutdown. The reprocessed uranium was transported by train from Sellafield, on the north western coast of England, to the east coast port of ...

PARIS (AP) — While the European Union has agreed to curtail its use of Russian oil and gas, its member nations continue to import and export nuclear fuel that is not under EU sanctions — to ...

The announcement is linked to a contract signed in April by Framatome and EDF, under which Framatome is to design, fabricate and supply fuel assemblies using enriched reprocessed uranium to EDF ...

However, between the 1950s and 1970s, the US Department of Energy enriched some reprocessed uranium extracted from spent reactor fuel in order to reclaim the U-235 that did not fission. Unlike natural ...

"Oil, gas, uranium and coal, all this should be banned. Because they are using this money in order to finance this war," Ustenko said. According to Greenpeace France, reprocessed uranium meant to ...

The researchers found that the TMR coefficient (indicating the mining intensity) of enriched uranium fuel was the highest, followed by nuclear fuel, reprocessed uranium fuel, mixed oxide (MOX ...

“Oil, gas, uranium and coal, all this should be banned. Because they are using this money in order to finance this war,” Ustenko said. According to Greenpeace France, reprocessed uranium meant ...

The nuclear sector is not subject to European sanctions. The French group Orano, which owns the reprocessed uranium (RepU) mainly from foreign power plants and which signed a contract in 2020 with ...
