The technology implementation plan for Mo and MoLa fuel cladding materials involves elements required for the design, testing, characterization, and demonstration of the advanced technology. These elements are currently integrated in the cladding development plan. This document summarizes the technical objectives and describes the path, milestones, and task periods needed to achieve them. The document describes the development plan leading to cladding materials and technologies providing significant performance and safety advantages over current Light Water Reactors (LWR) fuel cladding. Other key objectives are meeting the fabrication, economic and licensability requirements, needed to deploy Accident Tolerant Fuels in operating commercial LWRs. The bulk of recent update work has been funded and performed by EPRI with some collaboration with Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). Future activities may involve a collaboration with AREVA under funding by the Department of Energy (DOE) Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA).
