Oak Ridge focuses neutron scattering studies on TRISO fuels
Oak Ridge National Laboratory is reporting a development in TRISO fuel research that could help evaluate high-temperature gas reactor fuels. ORNL researchers used the Spallation Neutrons and Pressure Diffractometer at the lab’s Spallation Neutron Source to make neutron scattering measurements on TRISO fuel particles containing high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU).

This session will present case studies of characterization techniques that have allowed for more efficient and cost-effective identification of radiological or chemical disposition of materials in support of decommissioning. Topics may include characterization of building materials, soil, sediment, and groundwater at nuclear power plant and legacy (non-power plant) decommissioning projects.
