Centrus Energy to Supply HALEU Fuel to Antares Nuclear, Enabling Micro Nuclear Reactor Applications for Military and Space
U.S. nuclear fuel supplier Centrus Energy has signed a multi-year contract with advanced microreactor developer Antares Nuclear, under which Centrus will supply high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) to Antares. This agreement is expected to expand the application scenarios of micro nuclear reactors to locations where traditional power sources are difficult to use, such as military facilities and space environments. As part of the agreement, Antares Nuclear will make advance payments to support Centrus in expanding HALEU production capacity in the United States. Compared with conventional low-enriched uranium, HALEU contains more uranium-235, with an enrichment level above 5% but below 20%. This new type of fuel can support smaller, higher-energy-density reac...

Antares and Standard Nuclear Sign Multi-Year TRISO Fuel Supply Agreement
Antares Nuclear, Inc. of the United States recently announced that it has signed a binding multi-year fuel supply agreement with Standard Nuclear to secure advanced nuclear fuel supply for its compact microreactor program. Under the agreement, Standard Nuclear will supply up to 8 metric tons of uranium (MTU) of tristructural isotropic particle fuel, or TRISO fuel, to Antares Nuclear by 2035. This fuel will be used in the microreactor currently being developed by Antares. Designed for demanding operating environments such as ground-based and space applications, this class of reactors aims to provide reliable power for national defense, aerospace, and off-grid critical infrastructure...
