newcleo Inaugurates Advanced Nuclear Fuel Engineering and Testing Center in France, Furthering the Industrial Deployment of its MOX Fuel Program.
newcleo inaugurated its FASTER advanced nuclear fuel engineering, testing and training center in Chusclan, southern France, representing an investment of around €10 million. Seven test facilities are already operational, covering key MOX fuel manufacturing stages from powder dosing and pellet pressing to fuel pin assembly and quality inspection, supporting a fuel team of around 100 engineers. The company frames FASTER as a de-risking step toward industrial MOX fuel facilities in France and the U.S., following a satisfactory ASNR safety-options evaluation in July 2026 and ongoing pre-licensing engagement with the U.S. NRC.
