Development and Qualification of Advanced Fuel Designs for the Natrium'*
and Molten Chloride Fast Reactor Designs
James Vollmer Senior Manager, Fuel Development & Qualification
- A Te r ra Po w e r & GE-Hitachi Technology
SUBJECT TO DOE COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT NO. DE-NE0008924 Copyright© 2022 TerraPower, LLC. All Rights Reserved.
Fuel Development and Qualification Effor ts
- Since our inception in 2008 TerraPower has actively been working on advancing fuel designs including metallic fuels for the Traveling Wave Reactor (T WR) and Natrium reactor designs and molten salt fuels for the Molten Chloride Fast Reactor (MCFR) designs
- Active engagement with the NRC to advance our fuel qualification strategies
- Advanced Fuel Qualification Methodology effor t was funded by the Depar tment of Energy through a regulator y assistance grant to help TerraPower refine our approach for metallic fuel qualification by suppor ting early engagement with the NRC (ML20209A155, ML20316A038, ML21057A008)
- Four total documents prepared as par t of this effor t:
- 1) Overall fuel qualification methodology, 2) Fuel Assembly Qualification Plan, 3) Type 1 Fuel Pin Qualification Plan (host fuel), and 4) Type 1B Fuel Pin Qualification Plan (advanced fuel)
