NEUP CINR-24-31719: Taggants in Future Nuclear Fuels by Design as an Enabling Technology to Track Nuclear Materials

The overarching goal of this project is to develop an innovative materials accounting and control technology by adopting an approach of “safeguard by design” during fuel fabrication to fill nuclear control technology gaps in tracing and tracking nuclear fuels for advanced nuclear reactors. The project is based on a concept of “taggants in fuels” that can greatly increase forensic attributes, and enhance intrinsic proliferation resistance and MPACT effectiveness for advanced nuclear fuel cycles.
