Fuel Fabrication & Supply
Precision Coated Particle Fuel Manufacturing, Built to Scale
From high-density uranium kernels to final fuel pebbles and compacts, TRISO-X is designed to deliver cost-competitive nuclear fuel solutions for power, industry, defense, and space.
Commercial-Scale TRISO Fuel Fabrication for Advanced Reactors
TRISO-X provides turnkey TRISO manufacturing services tailored to a customer’s exact reactor design. By surrounding uranium kernels with microscopic ceramic containment layers, our coated particle fuel is engineered at the most fundamental levels of design for intrinsic safety features, high efficiency, and reliable long-term performance.
Core Fabrication
Our proprietary sol-gel and coating processes are built on almost a decade of pilot-scale production at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, solving decades-old fabrication challenges to achieve tighter tolerances and higher material yield at commercial volume.
Production
Located at the Horizon Center Industrial Park in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, our TX-1 and TX-2 facilities aim to establish a first-ever U.S. commercial supply of TRISO fuel. By building on laboratory-proven processes, our production capabilities provide a long-term pathway to high-efficiency, cost-competitive advanced nuclear fuel solution.
Facility & Licensing
With a Category II Special Nuclear Material License from the NRC, Our Oak Ridge fuel campus is authorized to receive and process large quantities of HALEU directly at the fabrication site, following completion and final inspection. TRISO-X is the first U.S. company to secure this authorization through the standard commercial licensing route, leading the industry toward a reliable domestic fuel supply.
Continuous Fuel Supply
TRISO-X manages long-term fuel logistics to keep client facilities operating without interruption. We support our clients from initial core loads into operational maintenance, including necessary logistics along the way.
