Fuel You Can Trust  —  Proven, Commercially Available, and Qualified

Fuel Details

• Fuel Type: Standard UO₂ pellets (<5% LEU)
• Commercial Supply Chain: Established global infrastructure, already licensed and manufactured
• Qualified Fuel Pellets: Designed for compatibility with modernized cladding and reactor systems

Unlike experimental or hard-to-source fuels, this reactor uses off-the-shelf UO₂ fuel enriched to 5%, a form widely produced, shipped, and qualified in today’s commercial nuclear industry. This dramatically shortens deployment timelines, reduces risk, and ensures regulatory confidence.

 Efficient and Elegant Core Design

• Power Output: 210 MWe
• Core Type: Prismatic graphite-block core for robust neutron moderation and heat transfer
• Fuel Life: 5–9 years in-core, minimizing outages and maximizing return on investment (ROI)
• Cladding: Advanced SiGA® silicon carbide composite for enhanced performance and fission product retention

This simple but robust configuration eliminates the need for complex refueling strategies and enables exceptional thermal stability and durability.

High-Efficiency, Load-Following Power Conversion

• Superheated Steam Cycle: Achieves 40% thermal-to-electric conversion efficiency
• Load-Following Capabilities: Flexibly adjusts power output to match grid demand

Engineered for seamless integration with modern grids, including high renewable penetration, the TGR delivers dispatchable, reliable baseload power.
