Clean Core Thorium Energy develops advanced nuclear fuel (ANEEL) for existing reactors and for upcoming small modular reactors. It's a thorium based fuel that allows using existing reactors unchanged. By achieving greater output within existing safety margins, ANEEL Fuel substantially reduces operating costs of existing reactors. Through high burnup fuel performance, it reduces nuclear waste generation by (according to the company) over 85% and reduces waste storage volume. By ensuring proliferation resistance using thorium in ANEEL Fuel, nuclear capacity can be deployed to nations that were previously unaddressable
