NANO Nuclear Energy and Quadrant Nuclear Industries have signed a memorandum of understanding to collaborate on a long-term domestic supply of high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) fuel for advanced reactors, addressing a critical supply bottleneck in the US. The partnership centers on QNI's Vanguard facility at Idaho National Laboratory aiming to produce 18 metric tons of HALEU annually, supporting both commercial and government nuclear markets.
