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.
Used nuclear fuel containers.
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...

Oil Tumbles As Tehran Pushes Draft Peace Framework While Sidestepping Uranium Question
Summary
Iran only having 'indirect' US contacts while asserting that enriched uranium is 'off the table' for negotiations: state TV says Tehran has a draft of the initial unofficial framework for MOU with US.
IRGC keeping up the rhetoric: warns that Iran would "turn the area from Chabahar to Mahshahr into a graveyard for aggressors" if the ceasefire collapses.
CENTCOM: "Clearly the Iranians are trying to hedge their bets here and put more pressure on the US."
Iranian president: "The main battleground today is the economic war."
Tabriz International Airport in northwestern Iran- which sustained heavy damage from airstrikes during the peak of the aerial bombings - is officially operational again, bringing restored airports to 20 reopened.

Oil gained Monday as traders weighed conflicting reports on Iran's uranium enrichment, a key sticking point in peace negotiations with the US that could dictate the pace of reopening the vital Strait of Hormuz.
West Texas Intermediate traded above $101 a barrel Monday after sliding 5.7% in the previous session. Prices pared some gains after Al Jazeera reported no new uranium directive had been issued, citing an unnamed Iranian official. Traders have been on high alert for clues on the status of negotiations between the US and Iran to parse when the strait — subject to a double blockade by Tehran and the US military — might reopen and to gird against a potential return to active fighting. The virtual closure of the waterway, a key global energy shipping route, has caused energy prices to soar.
