Quantity of 135I released from the AGR-1, AGR-2, and AGR-3/4 experiments and discovery of 131I at the FPMS traps during the AGR-3/4 experiment
A series of three Advanced Gas Reactor (AGR) experiments have been conducted in the Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) at Idaho National Laboratory (INL). From 2006 through 2014, these experiments supported the development and qualification of the new U.S. tristructural isotropic (TRISO) particle fuel for Very High Temperature Reactors (VHTR). Each AGR experiment consisted of multiple […]
Quantity of 135I Released from the AGR 5/6/7 Experiment
A series of four Advanced Reactor Technologies (ART) experiments have been conducted in the Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) at Idaho National Laboratory (INL). From 2006 through 2020, these experiments supported the development and qualification of the new U.S. tristructural isotropic (TRISO) particle fuel for Very High Temperature Reactors (VHTR). Each Advanced Gas Reactor (AGR) experiment […]
AGR-5/6/7 Irradiation Test Final As-run Report
This document presents the as-run analysis of the Advanced Gas Reactor (AGR) 5/6/7 irradiation experiment. AGR-5/6/7 is the last of a series of experiments conducted in the Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) at Idaho National Laboratory (INL) in support of the development and qualification of tri-structural isotropic (TRISO) low enriched fuel for use in high-temperature gas-cooled […]

This engineering calculations and analysis report (ECAR) documents the release-to-birth ratios of the Advanced Gas Reactor (AGR) experiment, AGR-5/6/7, which was irradiated in the Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) Northeast Flux Trap from February 16, 2018 to July 22, 2020.
AGR-1, AGR-2 and AGR-3/4 Release-to-Birth Ratio Data Analysis
A series of Advanced Gas Reactor (AGR) irradiation tests is being conducted in the Advanced Test Reactor at Idaho National Laboratory in support of development and qualification of tristructural isotropic (TRISO) low enriched fuel used in the High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactor (HTGR). Each AGR test consists of multiple independently controlled and monitored capsules containing fuel […]
The AGR-3/4 fission product transport irradiation experiment
AGR-3/4 was the combined third and fourth planned irradiations for the U.S. Department of Energy Advanced Gas Reactor (AGR) Fuel Development and Qualification Program. The primary purpose of the AGR program is to support the development and qualification of tristructural isotropic (TRISO) coated particle fuel for use in High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactors. AGR-3/4 was designed […]
Results of the AGR-2 TRISO fuel performance demonstration irradiation experiment in the Advanced Test Reactor
Release-to-Birth Ratios for AGR-2 Operating Cycles 147A through 154B
This Engineering Calculations and Analysis Report (ECAR) documents the release-to-birth (R/B) ratios of the Advanced Gas Reactor (AGR) experiment, AGR-2, irradiated in the Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) B-12 position during Cycle 147A (AGR-2 irradiation interval #1) through Cycle 154B (AGR-2 irradiation interval #11).
Design and Expected Performance of the AGR-1 Fission Product Monitoring System (FPMS)
The effluent from each test capsule of the AGR-1 experiment will be monitored by a detector system consisting of a gamma-ray spectrometer and a gross radiation detector. This collection of radiation measurement systems will be known as the AGR-1 Fission Product Monitoring System (FPMS). Proper design and functioning of the FPMS is critical to the […]
