General Electric Global Research is proposing to continue development efforts for the development of Light Water Reactor Fuels with Enhanced Accident Tolerance. The proposed action expands and continues Accident Tolerant Fuel related concepts in U.S. Department of Energy facilities (the Advanced Test Reactor, Transient Reactor Test Facility, and out of pile tests) and commercial reactors with prototypic segments and rods. The project also proposes to develop a licensing plan for future Nuclear Regulatory Commission approval for initial commercial partial core loading in the mid-2020s.
