Rosatom tested new TRISO nuclear fuel at temperatures up to 1600 °C
In Russia, microsphere TRISO fuel has been developed for gas-cooled high-temperature gas reactors. Thirteen reactor experiments were carried out, confirming the fuel's operation at 1200 °C in normal modes and at 1600 °C in accident scenarios. Specialists have moved on to creating a pilot-scale production technology.
