New Research Effort Could Boost Nuclear Fuel Performance

New research effort could boost nuclear fuel performance

Researchers at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have begun a series of experiments that could result in more energy for the grid by increasing nuclear fuel efficiency. The tests are made possible by the special delivery of 11 "high burnup" rods that were irradiated for research purposes.
