The LEU-FOREvER project aims to secure the supply of nuclear fuel for European research reactors by transitioning from high to low enriched uranium fuels. It involves optimizing fuel manufacturing processes and developing new core designs for medium power research reactors to mitigate supply risks.
Securing the nuclear fuel supply for European research reactors is the overall objective of the LEU-FOREvER project.
Our analysis points out two main risks of shortage: (i) the very challenging conversion of High Performance Research Reactors (HPRRs) from High to Low Enriched Uranium fuels (LEU), (ii) the ROSATOM monopoly to fuel medium power research reactors (MPRRs) with original Soviet design.
On HPRRs, a multi-disciplinary consortium composed of fuel/core designers, operators and fuel manufa…
