Fuel chain for this unit
Fuel form
Fuel dissolved in the salt, or TRISO in a salt coolant
Enrichment
5–20% U-235, often HALEU HALEU dependency
Upstream

Enriched fuel means this unit sits downstream of five conversion plants and four enrichment operators holding 88% of world capacity between the top three.
