Small Modular Reactor Buyers Face Unbuilt Fuel Supply Chain
Original: SMR Buyers Face a Fuel Supply Still Under Construction
Companies buying small modular reactors may find the fuel they need is not yet available at scale. The supply chain for advanced reactor fuels, including high-assay low-enriched uranium, remains in early stages of development, with enrichment and fabrication capacity still being built out. This leaves prospective SMR customers facing questions about when, and from whom, they will actually be able to source fuel once their reactors are ready.
Why now: Growing commercial interest in small modular reactors is highlighting a gap between reactor orders and the fuel infrastructure needed to run them.
