Four fuel pins were sent to France for irradiation in the Phenix fast breeder reactor. At the same time, a similar set of fuel elements was placed in INL\u2019s own Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) to see if INL\u2019s reactor could successfully simulate the same conditions. Phenix shut down in 2009\u00a0after operating for over 30\u00a0years.<\/p>\n<p>The fuel was stored in a hot cell in France for several years before beginning its journey back to the USA in July. According to Areva TN, which performed the shipment using a TN-106\u00a0nuclear transport package, the operation required several months of preparatory engineering and coordination work involving the CEA, DOE, regulators and other stakeholders. The TN-106\u00a0is extensively used in Europe for transporting experiments between labs, but had not previously been used in the USA.<\/p>\n<p>INL researchers will now examine both sets of fuel elements to confirm whether the ATR can adequately recreate fast reactor fuel behaviour. This would enable INL researchers to continue to use the ATR in studies of new fuels under its Transmutation Fuels Program.<\/p>\n<p>As part of efforts to look at ways of using uranium resources more efficiently and reducing the amounts of used fuel for ultimate disposal, the Transmutation Fuels Program is researching different fuel compositions for recycling used nuclear fuel in a fast breeder reactor. However the USA does not have a fast breeder reactor, so the will confirm whether ATR can be successfully used to test the fuels developed by the program.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A consignment of irradiated experimental fast reactor fuel has returned to the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) in the USA from France for the final stages of a study that has been ongoing for over eight years.
