NEUP CINR-22-26787: International Collaboration to Advance the Technical Readiness of High Uranium Density Fuels and Composites for Small Modular Reactors

An international team of high uranium density fuels (HDFs) experts advised by industry leaders in nuclear reactor innovation propose a US-UK collaboration to advance the technical readiness of UN, UB2, and their composites for fuel forms specific to small modular reactors (SMRs). The project will bridge the critical data gaps in HDF performance specific to the impact of common impurities and microstructural variations that originate at fabrication.
