Demonstrate Viability of Accelerated Fuel Qualification Approaches
This presentation summarizes the research under LDRD grogram, Demonstrate Viability of Accelerated Fuel Qualification Approaches. It is demonstrated that the fabrication process of uranium carbide fuel has been developed and neutronic, thermal and hydraulic analysis have been conducted for the Fission Accelerated Steady-state Testing (FAST). This program provides basis of expansion of FAST as an efficient platform to broad nuclear fuels.

Fuel Specification for Uranium Monocarbide FAST Fuel Specimens
This specification outlines the fabrication requirements for kernel compact uranium monocarbide (UC) fuel to be fabricated at General Atomics (GA) and is already issued in EDMS and is going thru LRS so that it can be shared with the Vendor. The UC fuel will be irradiated in the Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) using the Irradiation System for High-Throughput Acquisition (ISHA-1). The primary objective of the ISHA-1 capsule design is to deliver to Idaho National Lab (INL) a semi-universal drop-in capsule that can facilitate the irradiation of both fissile and structural materials in a variety of ATR positions. This irradiation experiment will support the need for development of Accelerated Fuel Qualification (AFQ) methods.
