NEUP CINR-19-17159: High power irradiation testing of TRISO fuel particles with UCO and UO2 kernels in miniature fuel specimen capsules in HFIR

The proposed project is to conduct very high-power TRISO particle irradiations to demonstrate significant performance margin to current AGR tests, where the AGR program irradiations can be applied to near-term operation of a Kairos Power prototype FHR. The proposed test is exploratory in nature, designed to support a long-term advanced FHR design with very high particle powers. The irradiation test will be performed at ORNL in HFIR using the existing miniature fuel specimen capsule.
