The U.S. DOE-NE’s Advanced Reactor Technologies (ART) Fast Reactor Program (FRP) and the NE-4 Advanced Fuels Campaign (AFC) have jointly undertaken efforts to qualify post-irradiation examination (PIE) data for Experimental Breeder Reactor II (EBR-II) and Fast Flux Test Facility (FFTF) metallic fuels. Among the thousands of PIE datasets in the Metallic Fuels Irradiation & Physics Database (FIPD), data from selected EBR-II experiments have been prioritized as the most valuable to the U.S. nuclear industry for licensing activities related to metallic fuel-based advanced fast reactors. This report summarizes the general data qualification progress of the EBR-II and FFTF experiments, with focus on the selected EBR-II experiments.
