Clean Core Thorium Energy begins accelerated irradiation testing of ANEEL™ Fuel at Idaho National Laboratory for use in PHWRs and CANDU reactors.
Clean Core Thorium Energy starts accelerated irradiation testing for its ANEEL™ Fuel at Idaho National Laboratory. The fuel, made of thorium and high-assay low-enriched uranium, is designed for use in pressurized heavy water reactors (PHWRs) and Canada Deuterium Uranium (CANDU) reactors. The CCTE-ANEEL-1A experiment aims to achieve high burn-up levels, demonstrating potential benefits like decreased life-cycle operating costs, reduced high-level waste, increased safety margins, and proliferation resistance.
