Summary of the U.S. National Workshop. Results for ATF Metrics Development

  • 1. INL,P.O. Box 1625, MS 3860, Idaho Falls, ID 83415 (United States)

Description

This presentation discussed the main outcomes of a recent US National Workshop on Accident-Tolerant Fuels, focusing on results for ATF metrics development. All thermal, mechanical and chemical properties are relevant in defining the metrics for accident tolerance, but considerable testing and analyses are needed to identify the dominant attributes and quantify the metrics. Current analysis tools are not fully adequate to complete the task, and a need was highlighted for strong collaborations to complete the experimental data to qualify the new tools
