Abstract

Transient overpower testing for fuel safety research and development has resumed at Idaho National Laboratory. The THOR-C-2 commissioning test has been performed and post-transient examination has been performed revealing the intended creep rupture failure near the top of the fuel zone. This paves the way for future testing on previously irradiated fuels that will support fuel development and qualification.
