Framatome and Ultra Safe Nuclear Corporation (USNC) are going to form a joint venture to manufacture commercial quantities of Tri-structural Isotropic (TRISO) particles and USNC’s proprietary Fully Ceramic Micro-encapsulated (FCM®) fuel. USNC is a pioneer in the manufacture of both TRISO-based nuclear fuel and Micro Modular Reactors (MMRs).

Swissnuclear is a Swiss nuclear trade organization. Later this year, they will begin discussions with local Swiss communities and cantons on possible payment and compensation for hosting a deep geological repository for radioactive waste. Last September, Nördlich Lägern in northern Switzerland was suggested as a possible site for such a repository.
