title = "Westinghouse accident tolerant fuel materials",
abstract = " Westinghouse is commercializing two unique accident tolerant fuels (ATFs): silicon carbide (SiC) as produced by General Atomics with uranium silicide (U 3 Si 2 ) fuel and Cr coated zirconium alloy cladding with U 3 Si 2 fuel. Testing of the cladding alternatives in autoclaves has been performed and samples have begun irradiation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Reactor and the Halden Project Reactor. Uranium silicide fuel is undergoing exposure in the Advanced Test Reactor and fuel pins have been removed and are undergoing post irradiation examination (PIE) at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL). This paper provides an update on these activities and a summary of results.",
