Nuclear fuel
Nuclear fuel, usually composed of enriched uranium or plutonium, undergoes fission within a reactor to release energy in the form of heat, which is then used to generate electricity. Advances in fuel design and enrichment have improved reactor efficiency, extended fuel life, and reduced the volume of radioactive waste produced.

The United Nations Comtrade database provides detailed trade statistics by product and trading partner. Imported and exported products are classified under the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (HS system), used uniformly by most customs authorities around the world. Based on the latest update of the HS system and data available in UN Comtrade, you can find below the relevant commodities related to this technology, including their HS codes and full descriptions.
We have classified these technology-related commodities into three groups: Midstream (chemical and material inputs of technology components), Downstream (fully assembled components or products), and Waste/Recycling (including recycled or waste products and components). Commodities are further arranged according to the relevant technology components.
