The Idaho National Laboratory's Transient Reactor Test Facility has received its first delivery of tri-structural isotropic (TRISO) fuel, marking a significant milestone for Project Pele, a mobile microreactor prototype designed for military energy needs. This advanced fuel, known for its ability to withstand extreme conditions, is a crucial step towards enhancing national security and promoting innovation in Generation IV nuclear technologies.

Key stakeholders, including the U.S. Army and the Department of Energy, celebrated this achievement as vital for developing reliable energy solutions.
