1. Idaho National Laboratory

Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has participated in the Advanced Gas Reactor (AGR) program for the Next Generation Nuclear Plant (NGNP) and the transition to the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) Advanced Reactor Technologies (ART) Technology Development Office (TDO) since the inception of the program. In this effort, ORNL has fabricated tristructural isotropic (TRISO) fuel and fuel compacts for AGR-1, AGR-2, and AGR-3/4 experiments, provided matrix only components for AGC-2, AGC-4, and AGR 3/4 experiments and for university studies, and provided characterization, coating, and compaction support for INL and BWX Technologies Nuclear Operations Group (BWXT). In fiscal year (FY) 2018, the activities for the INL ART TDO fuel development are focused on final characterization to support the AGR-5/6/7 experiments and technical support to the Generation-IV International Forum (GIF) pre-irradiation leach-burn-leach (LBL) round robin effort with China and South Korea.
