Study mapping U-10Zr porosity informs metallic fuel design
Researchers at Idaho National Laboratory and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have conducted a three-dimensional study of irradiated U-10Zr—uranium alloyed with 10 percent zirconium—across key radial regions, providing new insights into how the material swells, transfers heat, and interacts with the fuel cladding.
U-10Zr was extensively tested in historical sodium-cooled fast reactors and is now attracting attention for use in next-generation advanced reactors.
From providing expertise to newcomer countries in nuclear energy to delivering regulatory analysis and criticality safety tools, Oak Ridge National Laboratory delivers innovative solutions for the nuclear workforce of tomorrow, today.
