International Beryllium Corporation reports it has signed a collaborative research agreement with Purdue University. This agreement will advance Purdue’s existing nuclear fuels research program as well as to develop a new type of beryllium oxide nuclear fuel which will be more efficient, safer and longer lasting. 

The objective of the research is to develop for commercial use an enhanced uranium oxide beryllium oxide nuclear fuel for both current and future nuclear power reactors.

Anthony Dutton, President and CEO of International Beryllium, states:

“We are delighted to have the opportunity to work with Purdue on this exciting and potentially transformational research into nuclear fuels.”  “We fundamentally believe that multi-oxide and BeO fuels are the way of the future and will be the foundation of a more efficient, economically sound and safer nuclear power industry. By supporting Purdue’s ongoing nuclear fuels research,” continued Dutton, “we aim to make an advanced UO2 - BeO fuel commercially accessible and to enhance the value of our strategic assets for both our shareholders and the nuclear fuels industry.”
