UIUC microreactor fuel qualification methodology gets safety approval
The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Nuclear Plasma and Radiation Engineering (NPRE) Department announced yesterday that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission has approved a fuel qualification methodology topical report for the high-temperature gas-cooled reactor the university wants to construct. The topical report was prepared by Ultra Safe Nuclear and submitted by UIUC to the NRC in March 2024. It describes the fuel that would be used in the microreactor that UIUC plans to host—initially containing uranium enriched to 9.9 percent U-235—and how it would be tested. The NRC issued its approval and a final safety evaluation on April 1.

Many Missions, One Goal: Collaborating for a Safer Tomorrow
Austin, TX|AT&T Hotel & Conference Center
Get ready for the next edition of NCSD Topical Conference. At this Topical, the top minds from the broad NCS community meet to collaborate on new developments in the field and discuss ideas on how to improve the industry for the next generation. From dedicated Session tracks like STACY Refurbishment and Restart to exciting workshops on Plutonium Chemistry, the NCSD Topical Conference has opportunities for any and every member of our community. The 2025 NCSD Topical Conference will be held in the vibrant and electrifying city of Austin, Texas. Austin is known as the ‘Live Music Capital of the World’ where many well-known country music icons have their roots. Every night local performers from all genres of music fill the air. Austin is also home to world class barbeque, but its eclectic food palate has something for everyone to enjoy. Enjoy a long walk or bike ride along the river featuring a beautiful mix of urban and natural sights and make sure to stop by the famous ‘Bat Bridge’ at dusk for a truly unique experience. We look forward to seeing and collaborating with you in Austin!
