Status of LEU U-10Mo Monolithic Fuel Testing and Qualification Efforts to Support US High Performance Research Reactor Conversions [electronic resource]

The US High Performance Research Reactor Project has begun a new phase of fuel testing and post irradiation examination (PIE) of plate-type low-enriched uranium (LEU) U-10Mo Monolithic fuel. The testing campaigns are intended to first confirm that the fuel performance behavior of commercially produc...

520 3 |a The US High Performance Research Reactor Project has begun a new phase of fuel testing and post irradiation examination (PIE) of plate-type low-enriched uranium (LEU) U-10Mo Monolithic fuel. The testing campaigns are intended to first confirm that the fuel performance behavior of commercially produced fuel matches that of the lab-scale fabricated fuel tested during development, followed by qualification of the U-10Mo monolithic fuel system through the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Planned tests include miniature-plate, full-size plate, and fuel element irradiations, during which fuel test specimens fabricated with qualified processes will be irradiated under conditions that bound the NRC-regulated reactors in order to demonstrate that the fuel meets the overarching fuel performance requirements of 1) maintaining mechanical integrity 2) maintaining geometric stability and 3) exhibiting stable and predictable behavior. The MP-1 test, with the objective of confirming fuel performance behavior, is currently undergoing irradiation in the Advanced Test Reactor and PIE in INL hot cells. Status of upcoming qualification and licensing test design activities and highlights of initial as-fabricated characterization and testing results from the MP-1 test will be provided.
