SHINE is developing technology to recycle used nuclear fuel from commercial fission reactors. It follows a four-step process: dissolving uranium from waste, irradiating it with a plasma beam, separating valuable isotopes, and recycling remaining uranium and plutonium back into reactors. This approach transforms highly radioactive material with millennia-long decay times into material with half-lives measured in years, decades, or centuries. The company has agreement with reactor fuel startup Standard Nuclear to sell fuel-grade material recovered from recycling.
