Rosatom’s first uranium-plutonium fuel for VVER reactors was REMIX fuel – its pilot operation was successfully completed at the Balakovo in March.

Accident tolerant fuel (ATF) is a term used to describe new technologies that enhance the safety and performance of nuclear fuel. ATF may incorporate the use of new materials and designs for cladding and fuel pellets.

Russia remained the top supplier of nuclear reactor fuel to the US last year, even after a ban on enriched uranium imports from the country took effect in May.

Russian oil products exports remain resilient with volumes climbing last month to the highest in a year, despite repeated drone strikes against the country’s refining operations.

The third 18-month cycle, like the entire ATF fuel pilot operation programme is carried out in strict coordination with regulator Rostekhnadzor based on required justifications and in accordance with the issued licence.

The synergy between carbon-based fuels and renewables in energy trading, facilitated by innovative policies and supported by advanced software technology, offers transformative opportunities for the energy sector.

Right now, 6.3 million UK households are in fuel poverty, according to National Energy Action. That’s up from 4.5 million, recorded in October 2021, when Europe’s energy crunch began, it said. Over the last three months, millions have been using appliances like ovens or going to bed early to stay warm, the study showed.

The Nuclear Fuel Security Program envisaged in the amendment will require the US Department of Energy (DOE) to begin acquiring at least 100 tonnes of low-enriched uranium per year,

China has imported about 2.3 million mt HSFO over December-January, about 235% higher compared to 687,000 mt during November-December, according to Kpler shipping data.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced $118 million in funding for 17 projects to accelerate the production of sustainable biofuels for America’s transportation and manufacturing needs.
