Innovation for advanced fuels at SRNL
As the only Department of Energy Office of Environmental Management–sponsored national lab, Savannah River National Laboratory has a history deeply rooted in environmental stewardship efforts such as nuclear material processing and disposition technologies. SRNL’s demonstrated expertise is now being leveraged to solve nuclear fuel supply -chain obstacles by providing a source of high-assay low-enriched uranium fuel for advanced reactors.

At the Tritium Process Laboratory (TPL) in the Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute, an apparatus for the Fuel Cleanup Process was designed, fabricated and installed for the experiments with up to 1g of tritium. The function of the system is continuous processing of a simulated plasma exhaust and separation of hydrogen isotopes and impurity elements in it. Main components are, palladium diffusers, catalytic reactors, cold traps, an electrolysis cell and zirconium-cobalt beds. The apparatus was installed in a glovebox and tested with hydrogen by early 1988.
