6 Maximizing Overall Performance Benefits Multi-variable evaluation approach is designed to maximize improvement in several interrelated areas while identifying instances in which improvement in one area could negatively impact another area. Fuels with enhanced accident tolerance are those that, in comparison with the standard UO 2 Zr system, can tolerate loss of active cooling in the core for a considerably longer time period (depending on the LWR system and accident scenario) while maintaining or improving the fuel performance during normal operations.
7 ATF Designs Must Meet Operations, Safety and Fuel Cycle Constraints ATF will be evaluated over all potential performance regimes Fabrication/Manufacturability (to include Licensibility) Normal operations and anticipated operational occurrences (AOOs) Postulated accidents (Design Basis) Severe accidents (Beyond Design Basis) Used fuel storage / transport / disposition (to include potential for future reprocessing) See: U.S. DOE LWR ATF Performance Metrics Report, February
8 RD&D Strategy For Enhanced Accident Tolerant Fuels 10 Year Goal Phase 1 Feasibility Workshops Phase 2 Development/Qualification Fuel Selection Phase 3 Commercialization LFA/LFR Ready Feasibility studies on advanced fuel and clad concepts -- bench-scale fabrication -- irradiation tests -- steam reactions -- mechanical properties -- furnace tests -- modeling Assessment of new concepts -- impact on economics -- impact on fuel cycle -- impact on operations -- impact on safety envelope -- environmental impact Steady State Loop and Capsule Tests LOCA/Furnace Tests Fuel Performance Code Transient Irradiation Tests Fuel Safety Basis Future activities subject to program approval and funding availability. Industry led projects (Phase 1a) Industry led projects (Phase 1b) Industry led projects (Phase 2)
9 Path from Feasibility and Assessment to Development & Qualification Critical Outcomes of Funded Feasibility and Assessment Projects ATF Developers prepare base-lined development plans to insert LFR/LFA after 6 years. ATF Developers show their concept to be a technically feasible ATF Concept for maintaining normal operations and improving accident tolerance. ATF Developers mature their technologies and are ready for prototypic testing. Comprehensive review against technical and programmatic constraints Federal Merit Review Panel evaluates development plans and ranked list of technologies against programmatically prescribed criteria. Independent Technical Review Committee evaluates the feasibility and maturity of concepts and develops a ranked list of technologies based on defined metrics. (FCRD-FUEL ) Funded Development and Qualification Projects 1 or at most 2 ATF Development Projects are awarded with the goal of inserting a LTR/LTA into a Commercial reactor by Advanced Fuels Campaign continues to fund a prioritized portfolio of technologies which show promise as the next generation of LWR fuel.
10 Industry Teams completed Phase 1a of initial ATF projects. (Phase 1b authorized for FY FY2016) AREVA Develop coated Zr-alloy cladding for improved accident performance Increased fuel pellet conductivity: Fuel with reduced stored energy that must be accommodated during DBE Additives achieved: SiC powder or whiskers Diamond Chromia dopant GE Develop advanced ferritic/martensitic steel alloys (e.g., Fe-Cr-Al) for fuel cladding to improve behavior under severe accident scenarios Objectives: Characterize candidate steels Study tube fabrication methods, neutronics, fuel economy, thermo-hydraulic calculations, regulatory approval path Initiate ATR testing with UO 2 and two cladding materials. Westinghouse Cladding concepts: - SiC and SiC ceramic matrix composites; - coated Zr alloys High density/high thermal conductivity fuel pellets First batch of U 3 Si 2 pellets were sintered using finely ground powder Pellets were pressed using pressures of 6,000-10,000 psi and sintered at temperatures of 1400 C U 3 Si 2 Pellet 10

There is $150M for Nuclear Waste Disposal to continue the Department of Energy s statutorily required activities for the Yucca Mountain license application. There is also $55M for the NRC to continue adjudication of the Yucca Mountain license application. The House directs the NRC to report not later than January 1, 2015, on its plan to complete the license application and its additional funding needs as necessary. FY 2015 Senate Mark: $3,000 is to design, procure, and test industry-standard compliant rail rolling stock; $30,000 is for activities on behavior of spent fuel in long-term storage, under transportation conditions, and in various geologic media. Priority should be placed on the on-going study of high-burnup fuel in dry storage. $10,000 is for the development and qualification of meltdown-resistant fuels based on ceramic-compacted coated particles. $3,000 is recommended to advance promising and innovative research, including ceramic cladding from qualified and competitively selected small business research task awards that complement industry and university projects and are focused on the development and testing of accident tolerant fuels.
