Managing the spent fuel arising from nuclear power plants until its disposal is an important step of the nuclear fuel cycle and constitutes the so-called back-end. While one third of the spent fuel ...

It uses metallic fuel to produce up to 50 MWe as well as producing usable heat, and can operate on fuel made from fresh high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) or used nuclear fuel. In October the US ...

With help from the fast reactor, spent fuel from the thermal reactors will be reprocessed and reused, with a final waste footprint up to ten times smaller than that of regular nuclear fuel. India is ...
