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.

This panel will provide an overview of ANS Standards, including what standards are, how they are developed and used, and why we need them. The panel will feature examples of standards projects that are risk-informed performance-based and applicable to advanced reactors. Attendees will walk away motivated to get involved and equipped with the knowledge of how to make it happen.
