Lightbridge All-Metal Fuel Technology
Lightbridge metallic fuel is an innovative approach to light water reactor fuels. The presentation will provide an overview of the fuel along with technical and commercial aspects that make the fuel attractive to utilities. The presentation also provides comments related to the steps required to license the fuel. The fuel has evolved from use in Russian icebreakers to a competitive alternative to today's standard fuels. The fuel utilizes enrichments greater than 5 weight percent, although from a reactivity perspective it is similar to existing fuels. The actual enrichment will be determined on a cycle specific basis as reloads are designed. Fuel performance under the prescribed Anticipated Operational Occurrences will be discussed including a specific example of the fuel's response to a LOCA. Features of the fuel that enable advanced performance include high thermal conductivity, low thermal inertia, and a surface area about 35 percent greater than cylindrical fuels. The commercial aspects of the fuel will be presented. Topics include power uprates for existing and new build reactors as well as longer operating cycles. The combination of technical and commercial information is intended to provide the attendees with a clear understanding of this innovative fuel technology.
