화요일, 4월 9, 2024

CHICAGO, April 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clean Core Thorium Energy (Clean Core) announced successful completion of the Phase 1 pre-licensing Vendor Design Review (VDR) process with Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC), the regulatory authority for Canada Deuterium Uranium (CANDU) reactors. Clean Core has been actively engaged with Canada’s nuclear industry with their patented fuel technology, the ANEEL™ fuel. In the completion of this Phase and the associated assessment report, no issues were identified by the CNSC that could present a fundamental barrier to the licensing of the ANEEL™ fuel in Canada.

Key Points: 
  • Clean Core has been actively engaged with Canada’s nuclear industry with their patented fuel technology, the ANEEL™ fuel.
  • The ANEEL™ fuel is made of thorium and high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU), developed for use in pressurized heavy water reactors (PHWRs) and Canada deuterium uranium (CANDU) reactors.
  • Clean Core has been engaged with CNSC since 2022, including submissions across 9 focus areas in the review, building a licensing basis and safety case for the ANEEL™ fuel.
  • This is a critical step forward for our ANEEL™ fuel technology and in advancing nuclear power generation across Canada and globally,” says Mehul Shah, CEO and Founder of Clean Core.

월요일, 4월 1, 2024

CHICAGO, April 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clean Core Thorium Energy (Clean Core) announced today that the accelerated irradiation testing and qualification of their patented ANEEL™ Fuel is set to begin in the Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL). The fuel, made of thorium and high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU), was developed by Clean Core for use in pressurized heavy water reactors (PHWRs) and Canada deuterium uranium (CANDU) reactors. Its insertion into one of the US government’s premier material testing facilities represents a key milestone in the company’s multi-year, multimillion-dollar joint effort with the US Department of Energy (DOE) to design, fabricate, and assemble the irradiation experiment.

Key Points: 
  • CHICAGO, April 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clean Core Thorium Energy (Clean Core) announced today that the accelerated irradiation testing and qualification of their patented ANEEL™ Fuel is set to begin in the Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL).
  • In 2022, Clean Core signed a Strategic Partnership Project Agreement with INL to design and execute an irradiation experiment in ATR to demonstrate and assess the performance of Clean Core’s innovative Advanced Nuclear Energy for Enriched Life (ANEEL™) fuel.
  • Upon receipt, INL developed the irradiation test plan, performed pre-irradiation characterization of the fuel pellets, designed and fabricated the experiment hardware and test trains, assembled the test trains, and finally inserted the experiment into the ATR.
  • “Clean Core is focused on the efficient development and deployment of the ANEEL fuel in heavy water reactors, without any modifications to the fuel bundle geometry or the reactor.

Tiny crystals capture millions of years of mountain range history – a geologist excavates the Himalayas with a microscope

You might think understanding big mountain ranges requires big measurements – perhaps satellite imaging over tens or hundreds of thousands of square miles.

Key Points: 
  • You might think understanding big mountain ranges requires big measurements – perhaps satellite imaging over tens or hundreds of thousands of square miles.
  • Although scientists certainly use satellite data, many of us, including me, study the biggest of mountain ranges by relying on the smallest of measurements in tiny minerals that grew as the mountain range formed.
  • By linking the chemistry of different zones within a mineral to events in the history of a mountain range, researchers can infer how the mountain range was assembled and how quickly.
  • By studying rocks in other locations, we can chart the movement of these thrusts and better understand the origins of the Himalayas.
