Quality & Licensing
Setting the New Nuclear Standard
The first new NRC-licensed commercial nuclear fuel facility in over 50 years.
Validated Commercial Operations
Our 40-year Special Nuclear Material License under 10 CFR Part 70 authorizes TRISO-X to process, store, and transport fuel using high-assay, low-enriched uranium. As the first NRC Category II license issued for commercial HALEU fuel fabrication, it signals our operational safety framework under federal requirements.
- NRC Category II license authorization: Permits continuous HALEU inventory handling for fuel fabrication, and a reliable, commercial-scale nuclear fuel cycle.
- TRISO fuel licensing approval: Validates our safety basis for hazard identification and management across all aspects of HALEU fuel manufacturing, and that programmatic commitments for safety, safeguards, and security meet the requirements necessary to support commercial-scale operations.
- Full-cycle transport authority: Covers the complete manufacturing cycle from raw feedstock receipt to final fuel delivery at project sites.
Foundations for Fuel Qualification
After fuel fabrication, we work with our partners to help prove its performance. Every reactor developer must qualify its fuel with the NRC as part of licensing its reactor — and that case is only as strong as the fuel and data behind it. TRISO-X will manufacture fuel to a rigorous, documented quality standard and supplies the fabrication and quality data developers rely on to build that qualification case. We are the foundation our customers stand on to pursue their own NRC approvals with confidence.
- A qualification-ready quality pedigree: Every pebble produced under a documented nuclear quality assurance program, generating the traceable fabrication data reactor developers need to support their own NRC fuel qualification.
- Built to spec: We deliver coated-particle fuel tailored to each customer’s core specifications, so the fuel a developer qualifies is the fuel it receives at scale.
- A faster path to deployment: By pairing proven manufacturing with regulatory-grade documentation, we help reactor developers streamline licensing and compress their deployment timelines.
