Development of Instrumented Advanced Test Reactor Irradiation Capsule Experiment for In-situ Thermal Conductivity Measurements of High-Density Fuels
Idaho National Laboratory (INL) is developing a first-of-a-kind leadout instrumented capsule experiment design to enable in-situ measurement capabilities in the Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) core. The Ceramic Advanced Thermal Evolution Research (CRATER) experiment supports the aLEU program objective to accelerate fuel performance irradiation testing for identifying alternative high-assay, low enriched uranium (HALEU) fuel systems. CRATER […]
