Natura Resources Joins Texas A&M Team Awarded $5.38 Million ARPA-E Grant for Nuclear Fuel Recycling
Natura Resources has joined a research consortium led by the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (TEES) to develop technology that recycles spent nuclear fuel into fuel for next-generation molten salt reactors. The project received $5.38 million in funding from the U.S. Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) through its HORNIG program. The three-year initiative aims to reduce America's spent nuclear fuel stockpile and strengthen the domestic nuclear fuel supply chain by converting long-lived transuranic materials into usable energy sources. Natura Resources will act as the technology commercialization partner, contributing $1 million toward the research effort alongside TEES and the Savannah River National Laboratory.
