HTGR fuel performance

Conference ·
OSTI ID:4143223
; ; ;
The reference fuel for the thorium cycle HTGR is composed of BISO-coated fertile particles and TRISO-coated fissile particles. These particles are blended together and bonded into fuel rods with a carbonaceous matrix. The fuel rods are then inserted into graphite fuel blocks. Results of irradiation test programs are presented. (auth)
