Neutroelectric and Oak Ridge National Laboratory will perform critical combined tests at the High Flux Isotope Reactor in support of qualification of this new material, NE-300, for use in commercial nuclear reactor applications.
March 9, 2020 – The TICAP is an industry-led and DOE cost-shared effort to develop technology-inclusive guidance regarding the expectations for the content for specific portions of the safety analysis report (SAR) that would be used to support an advanced reactor application.
The scope of this project included the design of an experiment for irradiating Lightbridge metallic fuel material samples in the Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) at Idaho National Laboratory (INL).
This project will leverage Pacific Northwest National Laboratory’s experience with high-temperature ultrasound to demonstrate feasibility for OLSHM of the Hydromine lead-cooled reactor heat exchanger for cracks and corrosion.
