A US company pioneering advances in radioisotope and nuclear fuel production has been selected by the National Reactor Innovation Center (NRIC) and the US Department of Energy (DOE) to develop its direct metallisation Haleu nuclear fuel production line.

Utah-based Nusano said its selection is part of the Nuclear Energy Launch Pad Program, a federal initiative designed to accelerate innovative nuclear technologies from concept to commercial deployment.

Nusano will gain access to DOE authorisation processes, national laboratory expertise, infrastructure, technical resources, and project support intended to accelerate advanced nuclear technologies from development to deployment.
