Clean Tech for Meeting Peaking Energy Demand
To meet spikes in electricity demand, grid operators use fossil fuel peaking power plants. While essential, they are an outdated technology that harms people and the environment. Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) offer a clean and versatile alternative.
What Happens to Nuclear Fuel After it is Used Up?
Spent nuclear fuel has an excellent record of safe transportation and storage. It is increasingly being reprocessed to produce new fuel.
Fueling Clean Energy Part Two: How Uranium Becomes Fuel
In part two of this StarCore series on how we get nuclear fuel, we discuss how uranium is transformed – or enriched; introduce advanced forms of fuel; and discuss global energy markets.
Fueling Clean Energy Part One: Where Does Uranium Come From
In part one of this StarCore series, we discuss how nuclear fuel is produced and explain how uranium provides a stable and secure foundation for our clean energy future.
