ORNL to partner with Type One, UTK on fusion facility
Yesterday, Oak Ridge National Laboratory announced that it is in the process of partnering with Type One Energy and the University of Tennessee–Knoxville. That partnership will have one primary goal: to establish a high-heat flux facility (HHF) at the Tennessee Valley Authority’s Bull Run Energy Complex in Clinton, Tenn.

This research evaluated the generation of uranium-doped gadolinium zirconate pyrochlore by a high-temperature sintering method. The sintering temperature and holding time were adjusted in the fabricating course. The sintered samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy. The study shows that uranium-doped gadolinium zirconate pyrochlore can be generated with sintering parameters of 1250°C and 72 h. Analysis with XRD indicates that the uranium-doped gadolinium zirconate pyrochlore has a fluorite structure.
