I oppose the opening of a new nuclear fuel fabrication factory especially one that will use nearly bomb grade uranium!

According to the Environmental Report for the TRISO-X Fuel Fabrication Facility (September 2022), TRISO-X FFF manufacturing operations consist of receiving HALEU in the form of triuranium octoxide (U3O8) powder enriched to less than 20 weight percent 235U; converting the U3O8 into a uranyl nitrate solution, into gel spheres, and then into fuel kernels; and processing the fuel kernels through coating, overcoating, fuel form pressing, and high temperature carbonization. These operations are supported by shipping and receiving, laboratory, quality control, research and development, uranium recovery, and waste disposal processes. (Section 1.3).
