Accident Tolerant Fuel: an update report 2020-2023 (ZIRAT28/IZNA 23)
During the last decade the development of various Accident Tolerant Fuel (ATF) concepts has come into focus of both research and industry communities in the USA, Europe and Asia. The accident tolerant fuel program is aiming towards improving the safety of nuclear energy by investigating materials that can replace or modify the current uranium-dioxide nuclear fuel and zirconium-based cladding. This research programs are being supported by all major nuclear countries since 2011.
This updated version of the previously issued ANT International 2021 ATF report will provide the reader with a useful, quick but comprehensive overview of the latest ATF technical developments. It will give relevant information about ATF cladding and fuel, appropriate warnings and useful insights to nuclear fuel engineers and designers as well as to the fuel buyers.
