Abstract

MiniFuel compacts containing 20 individual tristructural isotropic (TRISO)-coated fuel particles were characterized to provide supporting preirradiation characterization data. The preirradiated characterization data supports irradiation capsule design and safety analysis, as well as downstream postirradiation examination (PIE) for a planned MiniFuel irradiation to explore high particle powers. The analysis included dimensional inspection, x-ray radiography and tomography, as-fabricated defect fraction analysis, and a matrix impurity analysis.
