Pyroprocessing is a way to change a solid material physically or chemically using high temperature. It is a dry process and very energy-intensive. The three sectors that use it most are cement-making, ...

On December 20, 1951, the Experimental Breeder Reactor-I (EBR-I) in Idaho became the first nuclear reactor in the world to generate usable electricity. As a matter of fact, it produced enough power to ...

BLSK Energy has signed a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement with Argonne National Laboratory to commercialize pyroprocessing, a high-temperature method capable of extracting reusable fuel ...

BLSK Energy has emerged from stealth mode following the signing of an agreement with Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) under which BLSK Energy will lead the commercialisation of pyroprocessing to ...

A US startup has joined forces with the nation’s first national laboratory to recycle spent nuclear fuel into energy for fast reactors by using advanced pyroprocessing technology. New York-based ...

The awards task five companies—Alpha Nur, Curio, Flibe, Oklo, and Shine—with developing tech that shrinks the nation’s waste stockpile while cutting reliance on foreign uranium. The projects range ...

Electrochemical processing in molten salt systems leverages high-temperature ionic media as both electrolyte and chemical reactant to achieve efficient extraction, purification and recycling of metals ...

A new think tank assessment argues that economics, proliferation concerns, and waste management barriers have shifted enough to make commercial nuclear fuel recycling viable in the U.S.—but only if ...

India: Humboldt Wedag India has commissioned a pyroprocessing line and material handling system at the JSW Cement Nagaur plant. The project was awarded to Humboldt Wedag India in 2024. The plant ...
