SHINE Selected for Two U.S. Department of Energy AI Nuclear Fuel Recycling Projects
SHINE Technologies, a U.S. fusion energy company, has recently been selected for projects under the U.S. Department of Energy's Genesis Mission, participating in two artificial intelligence applications for the nuclear energy sector. Among these, SHINE will lead a nuclear fuel cycle facility optimization project and join the Prometheus project, a collaborative effort between national laboratories and industry. The project led by SHINE, named AI-Guided Fuel Cycle Facility Optimization, is a Phase 1 project with Argonne National Laboratory as the technical partner. The project plans to develop an AI-assisted workflow to help engineers...

Three U.S. Nuclear Energy Companies Explore Manufacturing Next-Generation Reactor Fuel from Recycled Nuclear Materials
U.S. nuclear energy companies Curio, NuScale Power, and Framatome have signed a memorandum of understanding to evaluate the feasibility of converting recycled nuclear materials into next-generation reactor fuel and related products. The tri-party collaboration is not focused on immediate commercial production, but rather on research into technical feasibility, fuel development, manufacturing capabilities, supply chain integration, and future commercial deployment, seeking to connect spent fuel recycling, fuel fabrication, and advanced reactor applications into a more complete industrial chain. Under this collaboration, Curio will provide its NuCycle nuclear fuel recycling technology, aiming to recover reusable strategic nuclear materials from spent fuel, with claims of reducing residual waste volume by up to 97%.
