Advanced Nuclear Fuel Cycle

The Advanced Nuclear Fuel Cycle involves processes that manage and recycle nuclear fuel more efficiently and sustainably. It aims to reduce waste by extracting valuable materials from spent fuel, such as plutonium and uranium, for reuse in new reactors. This cycle minimizes the amount of high-level waste and enhances safety by using innovative technologies, like reprocessing and closed fuel systems. Overall, it promotes a more sustainable, economical, and environmentally responsible approach to nuclear energy, helping to meet future energy needs while reducing long-term radioactive waste.
