Non-destructive Examinations of ATF-2 Baseline Rodlets
This report contains the results of non-destructive examinations of Accident Tolerant Fuels 2 (ATF-2) rodlets irradiated in the Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) Loop 2A. The experiment is part of the U.S. Department of Energy Nuclear Technology Research and Development (NTRD) program’s Advanced Fuels Campaign (AFC). The rodlets were composed of UO2 pellets and Zr-4 cladding. The data have been collected to provide baseline PIE data to support future testing in TREAT and to have performance data against which the data of the ATF concepts can be compared directly. The analyses performed included: visual examinations, axial gamma scanning, neutron radiography and profilometry. All the data collected showed a performance consistent with expectations for this fuel system at low burnup.
