Advanced reactors are being developed that will need innovative fuel, such as TRISO and metallic fuel. This panel will address the challenges of obtaining this fuel and qualifications of the fuel. What fuel fabrication facilities are planned, and what is needed to license these new fuels with the NRC? How long will it take before this fuel is ready and what can be done to speed up the process?
