Nuclear Industry Moves Forward on Accident Tolerant Fuels - Nuclear Energy Institute

Nuclear Industry Moves Forward on Accident Tolerant Fuels - Nuclear Energy Institute: Accident tolerant nuclear reactor fuels are a potential game changer for the industry. Originating as an offshoot of the U.S. Department of Energy’s advanced fuels research after the 2011 Fukushima accident, the capabilities of these more robust fuel designs are showing enough promise that the U.S. nuclear industry wants to accelerate their development and possible deployment.
