LEUbased
LEUbased refers to a category of nuclear fuel technology that utilizes low-enriched uranium (LEU) as its primary fuel source. Low-enriched uranium contains a uranium-235 isotope concentration typically below 20%, which is significantly lower than the enrichment levels found in weapons-grade uranium. This technology is widely used in commercial nuclear power plants worldwide due to its balance of safety, efficiency, and proliferation resistance.
LEU-based reactors operate on the principle of controlled nuclear fission, where uranium-235 atoms split upon absorbing
One of the key advantages of LEU-based systems is their enhanced safety features, including passive cooling
LEU-based reactors contribute to stable and low-carbon electricity generation, supporting global efforts to mitigate climate change.
