CONCEPTUAL FUEL ELEMENT DESIGN CANDIDATES FOR CONVERSION OF HIGH FLUX ISOTOPE REACTOR WITH LOW-ENRICHED URANIUM SILICIDE DISPERSION FUEL*

CONCEPTUAL FUEL ELEMENT DESIGN CANDIDATES FOR CONVERSION OF HIGH FLUX ISOTOPE REACTOR WITH LOW-ENRICHED URANIUM SILICIDE DISPERSION FUEL*

Engineering design studies are underway to assess the feasibility of converting the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) to operate with low-enriched uranium silicide dispersion (LEU3Si2-Al) fuel. These studies are supported by the U.S. Department of Energy National Nuclear Security Administration’s Off...
