Standard Nuclear First to Receive HALEU Feedstock for Production of TRISO Fuel to Support 2026 Reactor Demonstration
Standard Nuclear First to Receive HALEU Feedstock for Production of TRISO Fuel to Support 2026 Reactor Demonstration Jan 7, 2026 8:00 AM Eastern Standard Time First load of TRISO to be used in Radiant reactor at Idaho National Laboratory OAK RIDGE, Tenn.--( BUSINESS WIRE )-- Standard Nuclear, Inc. , a reactor-agnostic producer of TRISO nuclear fuel, today announced it successfully received a critical shipment of High-Assay Low-Enriched Uranium (HALEU) feedstock at its facility in Oak Ridge, Tennessee last month. This achievement establishes Standard Nuclear as the first company to both receive authorization by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and physically receive HALEU for production of advanced TRISO fuel, a key component for next-generation nuclear reactors. The volume of material received is sufficient to produce a full core load of advanced nuclear fuel for the first reactor startup by Radiant, an advanced reactor developer, positioning Standard Nuclear to significantly contr...
