Tristructural isotropic (TRISO) coated particle fuel is the key fuel concept for the high-temperature gas-cooled reactors (HTGRs), selected by the US Department of Energy (US-DOE) [1]. A TRISO fuel particle consists of a fuel kernel of UO2 or UCO and multiple coatings of a porous graphite buffer layer, inner pyrolytic carbon (IPyC) layer, silicon carbide layer as the primary pressure vessel, and a dense outer pyrolytic carbon (OPyC) layer.
