Argonne high-burnup fuel tests shed light on cladding ductility

摘要

A research program at Argonne National Laboratory isnbeginning to shed light on the impact of hydride reorientationnon the cladding ductility of high-burnup spent fuel inndry storage, an NRC official said this month. Definitivenanswers on whether that fuel could be transported, however,nor under what conditions still are a ways off.
