SHINE said it is participating in two separate U.S. Department of Energy ARPA-E-supported nuclear fuel recycling projects: one led by GE Vernova to modernize spent fuel tracking and safeguards with real-time measurement, AI and a digital twin, and another with Argonne National Laboratory and Case Western Reserve University to apply PaCERS chemical separation equipment to SHINE's recycling process. The company said the efforts support the economics and safeguards of its REDUCE nuclear fuel recycling approach, which aims to recover uranium, plutonium, radioisotopes and other high-value materials from used nuclear fuel while helping address the roughly 94,000 metric tons accumulated in the United States.
