Nuclear energy today offers enormous potential. Not only to deliver clean, reliable power but to strengthen national security, deepen industrial capability, and expand long-term economic opportunity. Realizing that potential requires partnerships that are more than transactional. It takes collaboration between governments, across industries, and among allies willing to commit to each other for decades.
At the core of every nuclear reactor lies the most energy‑dense fuel source on Earth: nuclear fuel, composed of millions of precisely engineered uranium pellets.
For decades, the nuclear industry followed a familiar path: machining massive metal blocks into precise, safety critical components. This approach was reliable, but it came at a cost: slow production, significant material waste and limited design flexibility.
