A major renovation project has been completed at TRIGA International's fuel fabrication facility in Romans-sur-Isère, southeastern France. The facility is the only supplier of uranium-zirconium hydride fuel for use in TRIGA-type research reactors. The upgrades will ensure the continued operation of 36 such reactors around the world.

Renovations were completed last month and TRIGA International is now waiting on approval from France's nuclear safety regulator, the Autorité de Sûreté Nucléaire, before the production of fuel can resume. New fuel elements are expected to be available by the end of this year.
