Current Status of Metal Fuel Reactor Studies in IGCAR

Creators

  • 1. IGCAR (India)

Description

Metal fuel development: • Fabrication and Testing of pins in FBTR. • FBTR core conversion as predominantly metallic fuel. • Construction of an experimental 320 MWt test reactor with metallic fuel core for testing of power reactor full-scale metal fuel subassemblies. • A pyroprocess plant for treating the spent metal fuels from FBTR will be set up and commissioned in 2020. Preliminary physics design of 320 MWt experimental metal core completed.
