Westinghouse And ENUSA Continue Expansion Of EnCore® Fuel Program With First Insertion At European Utility
The lead test assemblies (LTAs) were manufactured and delivered under the Frame Cooperation Agreement between Westinghouse and ENUSA, which was signed in 2018 to allow for collaboration on the advancement of the EnCore Fuel program at Westinghouse. Westinghouse supplied the uranium dioxide powder and components including the advanced cladding technology, while ENUSA delivered the uranium dioxide pellets, as well as the fuel assembly and shipment.
"The capabilities of the ENUSA-Westinghouse cooperation have made this program a reality and have been demonstrated through the reduced lead time from order to fuel installation," said Roberto González Villegas, ENUSA Business Development and Technology Director. "ENUSA is proud to partner with Westinghouse and acknowledges Engie Electrabel for their support for this program."
