In this episode of The Sound of Science, we explore the nuclear fuel cycle — the journey nuclear fuel takes from uranium mining to reactor use, recycling, and long-term disposal. Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory explain how advanced fuels like TRISO are changing reactor design, why recycling spent fuel is both promising and complex, and how new public-private efforts could reshape the future of nuclear energy in the United States. From materials science to reactor innovation, this episode looks at the fuel behind the future of nuclear power.
