Providing advanced nuclear fuel

General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems (GA-EMS) operates a fuel prototyping facility to develop and test fuel forms for different applications. Uranium dioxide pellets, Uranium carbide kernels, TRIGA fuel, and TRISO fuel have all been fielded in fission reactors. Modern fuels use various coatings and fuel forms of different geometries to achieve the energy density and lifetime necessary to produce power or propulsion.

TRIGA fuel is produced at TRIGA International, a joint venture between General Atomics and Framatome.
