TL;DR: In this paper, a compilation of non-irradiated and irradiated properties of SiC are provided and reviewed and analyzed in terms of application to TRISO fuels, specifically in the high-temperature irradiation regime.
TL;DR: In this article, three general strategies for accident tolerant fuels are explored: modification of current state-of-the-art zirconium alloy cladding to further improve oxidation resistance (including use of coatings), replacement of Zr Alloy cladding with an alternative oxidation resistant high-performance cladding, and replacement of the monolithic ceramic oxide fuel with alternative fuel forms.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the use of elevated-temperature ferritic/martensitic steels for in-core and out-of-core applications for the next generation of nuclear power reactors.
