| Abstract Scope |
Micro X-ray computed tomography (micro-XCT) has been used to image neutron-irradiated tristructural isotropic (TRISO) coated fuel particles and compacts at Idaho National Laboratory’s (INL) Irradiated Materials Characterization Laboratory. This presentation will give an overview of the 3D imaging, accomplished with a laboratory-based X-ray microscope (a ZEISS Xradia 520 Versa). Compacts were irradiated in INL’s Advanced Test Reactor as part of the Advanced Gas Reactor (AGR) Fuel Development and Qualification Program. Individual particles are from compacts irradiated during the second series of tests (i.e., AGR-2) and TRISO compacts are from the combined third and fourth series of tests (i.e., AGR-3/4).
This work was sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Nuclear Energy, through the Advanced Reactor Technologies Advanced Gas Reactor Fuel Development and Qualification Program. Idaho National Laboratory is operated by Battelle Energy Alliance LLC under contract number DE-AC07-05ID14517 for the U.S. Department of Energy. |
