Westinghouse will partner with Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) to perform an irradiation test and associated Post-Irradiation Examination (PIE) on a specific CMC to ensure it is a viable option for the eVinci microreactor prior to performing a larger irradiation campaign. The work will utilize the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) at ORNL.

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.
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).
The objective of this project was to test the Enduray Vision System developed by Vega Wave Systems Inc., using 3 MeV X-rays generated by the Van de Graaff system, to assess the radiation tolerance of the system. These tests showed that the Enduray Vision System was 10× more radiation-hard than the best available commercial competitor in terms of dose rate and can easily sustain radiation dose rates and total doses seen in the most extreme commercial applications in the nuclear energy industry.
