The next generation nuclear plant (NGNP)/advanced gas reactor (AGR) fuel development and qualification program includes a series of irradiation experiments in Idaho National Laboratory’s advanced test reactor. Tristructural isotropic (TRISO)-coated particles for the first AGR experiment, AGR-1, were produced at Oak Ridge Laboratory (ORNL) 2-in.(5-cm)-diameter coater. A requirement NGNP/AGR is to produce coated later coaters more representative industrial scale. Toward this end, tests have...
As an important factor affecting the accuracy of thermal conductivity measurement, systematic (bias) error in guarded comparative axial heat flow (cut-bar) method was mostly neglected by previous researches. This bias is primarily due to mismatch between sample and meter bars (reference), which common for a unknown conductivity. A correction scheme, based on finite element simulation measurement system, proposed reduce magnitude overall uncertainty. scheme experimentally validated applying...

As part of the Department Energy’s Advanced Gas Reactor Fuel program, Babcock & Wilcox is developing a fluidized bed chemical vapor deposition process to deposit TRISO coating on UCO and UO2 kernels. These coated kernels will go into irradiation tests in Test at Idaho National Laboratory. This paper reports development activities including furnace design runs made qualify process.
The next generation nuclear power/advanced gas reactor (NGNP/AGR) fuel development and qualification program included the design, installation, testing of a 6-in. diameter particle coater to demonstrate quality tri-structural isotropic (TRISO) production on small industrial scale. Scale-up from laboratory-scale faced challenges associated with an increase in kernel charge mass, diameter, redesign distributor achieve adequate fluidization throughout deposition four TRISO coating layers....
