US-UK built capsule to face 1,382°F nuclear test at world’s highest power reactor

The teams will now see how each sample responds to neutron irradiation and high temperatures to judge their use in advanced nuclear reactors.

The United States and United Kingdom have jointly succeeded in building fabricated test capsules of metal alloys and graphite for use in the advanced nuclear reactor s of future.

Earlier, the experimental design for the capsules had been finalized at INL, this was followed by the UK research team assembling the eight capsules at the UK Atomic Energy Authority Culham Campus in Abingdon.According to a press release by the Office of Nuclear Energy in US, the capsules are comprised of 578 samples of structural materials including advanced steel and various forms of graphite.

After testing, the capsules will be disassembled at the lab’s Hot Fuel Examination Facility to analyze how the materials performed.. The Material Library is an open archive of over 9,000 irradiated nuclear fuel and material samples in the US.and UK are working on this project to help improve the nuclear reactor technology for civilian use.
