USask explores small modular reactor fuel with federal funding
Researchers at the University of Saskatchewan (USask) received $900,000 to explore new and more efficient uranium-based fuels for small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs). Previously, Dr. Szpunar (PhD) led two projects funded by the Fedoruk Centre, for research on accident-tolerant fuels for SMRs and CANDU reactors, as well as the embrittlement of nickel-based alloys in reactor core components.
