【 摘 要 】

As the nation's nuclear energy laboratory, Idaho National Laboratory brings together talented people and specialized nuclear research capability to accomplish our mission. This edition of the Nuclear Fuels and Materials Division Spotlight provides an overview of some of our recent accomplishments in research and capability development. These accomplishments include: ??? The first identification of silver and palladium migrating through the SiC layer in TRISO fuel ??? A description of irradiation assisted stress corrosion testing capabilities that support commercial light water reactor life extension ??? Results of high-temperature safety testing on coated particle fuels irradiated in the ATR ??? New methods for testing the integrity of irradiated plate-type reactor fuel ??? Description of a 'Smart Fuel' concept that wirelessly provides real time information about changes in nuclear fuel properties and operating conditions ??? Development and testing of ultrasonic transducers and real-time flux sensors for use inside reactor cores, and ??? An example of a capsule irradiation test. Throughout Spotlight, you'll find examples of productive partnerships with academia, industry, and government agencies that deliver high-impact outcomes. The work conducted at Idaho National Laboratory helps to spur innovation in nuclear energy applications that drive economic growth and energy security. We appreciate your interest in our work here at INL, and hope that you find this issue informative.
