Bill Gates' nuclear power plant stalled by Russian fuel holdup
https://www.theregister.com/2022/12/16/gates_nuclear_power_russia/The DoE's own projections indicate more than 40 metric tons of HALEU will be needed before the end of the decade, but ACO is a long way short of that goal: the biz plans to demonstrate its capabilities by producing 20 kilograms of HALEU in 2023.
After that, the DoE said ACO would produce 900 kilograms per year. At that rate it would take more than 40 years to produce the amount of fuel the DoE said is needed this decade, though the department said it's pursuing multiple paths to produce the HALEU the US nuclear industry needs.
