Abstract

The US DOE Advanced Gas Reactor Fuel Development and Qualification program, designed to support new term deployment of high-temperature gas-cooled reactor technology, is discussed. The first phase of this program concentrates on the re-establishment and improvement of the US capability to produce high-quality SiC-based TRISO coated UCO fuels. A major emphasis is being laid on the characterization of the properties of these coatings which include dimension, density, and anisotropy measurements.
