Lightbridge announces first U-Zr fuel rod samples extruded at INL
Lightbridge Corporation announced today that it has reached “a critical milestone” in the development of its extruded solid fuel technology. Coupon samples using an alloy of zirconium and depleted uranium—not the high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) that Lightbridge plans to use to manufacture its fuel for the commercial market—were extruded at Idaho National Laboratory’s Materials and Fuels Complex.

Detectors of 2.45 MeV neutrons and 3.02 MeV protons are designed for experiments with injection of deuterium beams in a small mirror section of the GDT (Gas Dynamic Trap) facility. The detector is based on a photomultiplier tube with a "fine mesh" dynode system and an organic scintillator. The detectors are operated in the mode of single-particle counting with the temporal resolution of ~20 ns.
