Although the facility began operation in 2024, Standard Nuclear only emerged from stealth in June 2025. The current facility spans 19,000 square feet and is capable of producing approximately 500 kg of TRISO fuel annually. This marks the first time a US private, commercial facility has begun manufacturing HALEU TRISO fuel under DOE safety oversight. “Standard Nuclear has successfully achieved numerous pivotal strategic and commercial objectives since our founding one year ago, leading to the remarkable occasion today as we begin producing HALEU TRISO,” said Standard Nuclear CEO Kurt Terrani. Standard Nuclear said it has executed multiple strategic and commercial milestones in its first 12 months of operations.
