The Advanced Gas Reactor (AGR) Fuel Development and Qualification Program was established to perform the requisite research and development on tristructural isotropic (TRISO)-coated particle fuel to support deployment of a high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR). The work continues as part of the Advanced Reactor Technologies (ART) TRISO Fuel Program. The overarching goal of the program is to provide a baseline fuel qualification data set to support licensing and operation of an HTGR. To achieve these goals, the program includes the elements of fuel fabrication, irradiation, post-irradiation examination (PIE) and safety testing, fuel performance modeling, and fission product transport (INL 2016). A series of fuel irradiation experiments is being performed at the Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) at Idaho National Laboratory (INL). These experiments are intended to provide data on fuel performance under irradiation, support fuel fabrication process development, qualify fuel for operating and accident conditions, provide irradiated fuel for accident testing, and support development of fuel performance and fission product transport models.
