US Nuclear Recycling Plant Could Extract 100 Times More Energy From Uranium Fuel
Authored by Georgina Jedikovska via Interesting Engineering,
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 nuclear technology company BLSK Energy announced on May 18 that it had signed a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) in Illinois to commercialize the method.

Pyroprocessing (or pyrochemical processing) is a high-temperature metallurgical process that could enable the reuse of nuclear fuel. When used with fast reactors, it could extract up to 100 times more energy from uranium.
The company plans to launch a pilot recycling facility by 2034 that would convert nuclear waste into material suitable for advanced fast reactors. "The path ahead is ambitious but achievable," Bruce Land...

Kupfermarkt im ersten Quartal deutlich überversorgt (SG)

|
Wir haben bereits mehrfach auf eine drohende Angebotsverknappung am Kupfermarkt hingewiesen. Tatsächlich waren die enttäuschenden chinesischen Produktionszahlen im April, über die wir am vergangenen Freitag berichteten, ein Warnsignal. Doch im ersten Quartal war die Welt am Kupfermarkt noch in Ordnung: So wies die International Copper Study Group dank einer kräftig gestiegenen Produktion an Kupferraffinade einen hohen Angebotsüberschuss von fast 400 Tsd. Tonnen aus, dreimal so hoch wie im ersten Quartal 2025.. --- Während die Nachfragedynamik anziehen dürfte, sollte sich das Produktionswachstum verlangsamen, was wiederum mittelfristig die Kupferpreise unterstützen sollte. Bis Jahresende erwarten wir einen Kupferpreis von 14.000 USD je Tonne..

Speaking on Bloomberg Television, she warns the market could "stay quite tight" for a long time. "Most of the smelters that are shut are damaged, and so they're looking at sort of twelve-month restart timelines," Gower explains. (Source: Bloomberg)...
