Lightbridge Fuel Prepared for Testing

US nuclear fuel technology company Lightbridge Corporation has loaded capsules containing Lightbridge fuel material samples into an experiment assembly.

The samples, comprised of enriched uranium-zirconium alloy, were manufactured at Idaho National Laboratory (INL).

The experimental assembly is now ready for insertion into INL's Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) for irradiation testing, which is expected to begin later this year.

The tests, part of a Cooperative Research & Development Agreement with INL, will generate data to support regulatory licensing and commercialisation of Lightbridge fuel.
