Put this in PDN. The Fuel type is in our zone so here as well
TRISO stands for TRi-structural ISOtropic particle fuel
It not really new 1960 start date really
"In 2009, this improved TRISO fuel set an international record by achieving a 19% maximum burnup with excellent fuel performance during a three-year test at Idaho National Laboratory (INL). This is nearly double the previous mark set by the Germans in the 1980s and is three times the burnup that current light-water fuels can achieve—demonstrating its long-life capability. The irradiated fuel was then exposed to more than 300 hours of testing at temperatures up to 1800° Celsius (more than 3,000° Fahrenheit). These tests exceeded the predicted worst-case accident conditions for high-temperature gas reactors and showed no to minimal damage of the particles with excellent fuel performance and low fission product release."
Why this fits SLX is "DOE alsosupported X-energy’s effortsto design and submit a NRC license application for a new fabrication facility. The project would ultimately use high assay low enriched uranium to produce the TRISO fuel pellets and pebbles for future high-temperature gas and molten salt reactors."
high assay low enriched uranium is SLX GLE baby!
