A new nuclear fuel made from both uranium and thorium, especially when used in CANDU/PHWRs, can address several issues with nuclear power – proliferation, waste and cost. Plus it’s made-in ...

But with an ANEEL fuel bundle, weighing approximately 10.65 kg, after 1,100 days of initial operation, only one such bundle on average would be replaced each day for the rest of the reactor’s ...

ANEEL is a proprietary combination of Th and HALEU, with much less U-238 than ordinary fuel, less than 20% compared to over 94% used in LWRs. HALEU itself is enriched to between 5% and 20% U-235.

Aneel's budget has been slashed to 117 million reais ($21.28 million) from a previous 155 million reais as the government imposed spending containment measures, according to Feitosa.

Clean Core has developed and patented a fuel, named the ANEEL fuel, made of thorium and enriched uranium. The fuel is designed for use in existing pressurized heavy water reactors (PHWR) and CANDU ...
