Published Date: 10/2/2025
Notice
Summary
Framatome, Inc. wants to update its license to make a special kind of nuclear fuel called TRISO with less than 10% Uranium-235 at their Richland, Washington plant. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission accepted this request in July 2025, which means Framatome can start making this safer, advanced fuel soon. This change helps keep nuclear energy moving forward without extra costs or delays.
