Fuel fabrication plants

Fuel fabrication plants are facilities that produce nuclear fuel for reactors. They take raw materials like uranium, process and enrich them, and then shape the material into fuel assemblies—often rods or pellets—that are used to generate electricity. Think of it as a specialized manufacturing plant where raw uranium is transformed into a manageable, safe, and efficient form for powering nuclear reactors. This process is carefully controlled to ensure safety, efficiency, and compatibility with reactor designs. The fuel produced is essential for maintaining a steady and reliable source of nuclear energy.
