Irradiated accident tolerant fuel experiments return to ORNL for examination
ORNL is getting its first look at nuclear fuel test rods that spent two years in a commercial reactor. The new fuel concepts were developed by GE’s Global Nuclear Fuel and recently shipped to the lab for post-irradiation examination after commercial operation. The test samples are part of an industry-led effort with the U.S. Department of Energy to commercialize new fuels that could help boost the performance and economics of U.S. reactors within the decade.
