BWX Technologies announced Oct. 27 a multiyear agreement to manufacture tri-structural isotropic (TRISO) fuel for Antares Nuclear’s Mark-1 reactor, which the company plans to power in 2027. The deal includes an initial allocation of one metric ton of uranium (1 MTU), which may increase as Antares’ deployment needs evolve. Future task orders will set quantities, delivery schedules and technical requirements. BWXT Advanced Fuels, a subsidiary of BWX Technologies, will make the fuel in Lynchburg, Virginia. The production line has also been used for Project Pele and Antares’ Mark-0 reactor.
