Preparatory phase for a European production capability to secure a supply of high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) fuel

Last updated: 16.7.2025
Grant

The HORIZON-EURATOM-2023-NRT-01-11 call addresses the critical need for a European production capability of high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) fuel. This initiative aims to bolster the EU's strategic autonomy and security of supply for HALEU, which is vital for research reactors, medical radioisotope production, and advanced reactor systems. By fostering a preparatory phase, the program seeks to mature projects to a construction-ready level, reducing reliance on external suppliers.
