Bluecore Energy Buys Low-Enriched Uranium for First Maritime Reactor
Bluecore Energy, a maritime nuclear energy company developing compact, water-cooled nuclear power systems, has purchased low-enriched uranium from WMC for its first system, according to Hellenic Shipping News.
The company bought uranium hexafluoride enriched to 4.95% uranium-235, establishing part of its nuclear fuel pathway as it advances development of the first system.
The material is held at a U.S. nuclear fuel facility outside California while Bluecore Energy advances plans for future fuel fabrication, testing and validation.
