AGR-1 Fuel Product Specification and Characterization Guidance

This document presents the product requirements for the AGR-1 irradiation test fuel and variants. This document also describes additional fuel characterization information to be provided (to the extent possible) to support process development and process modeling activities. This specification and characterization guidance document is considered a subset of EDF-4198, Preliminary AGR Fuel Specification (Rev. 1), […]

Uncertainty Quantification of Calculated Temperatures for the AGR-1 Experiment

This report documents an effort to quantify the uncertainty of the calculated temperature data for the first Advanced Gas Reactor (AGR-1) fuel irradiation experiment conducted in the INL’s Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) in support of the Next Generation Nuclear Plant (NGNP) R&D program. Recognizing uncertainties inherent in physics and thermal simulations of the AGR-1 test, […]

AGR-1 Data Qualification Report

ABSTRACT Projects for the very high temperature reactor (VHTR) Technology Development Office (TDO) program provide data in support of Nuclear Regulatory Commission licensing of the VHTR. Fuel and materials to be used in the reactor are tested and characterized to quantify performance in high temperature and high fluence environments. The VHTR program has established the […]
