TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER 14 Pebble Bed Modular Reactor Ltd. (PBMR) Safety testing and destructive examination will be completed for four PBMR nuclear fuel compacts containingTristructural Isotropic (TRISO) coated particle fuel that was irradiated in INL’s AdvancedTest Reactor (ATR).The testing and examination will help assess fuel performance during high-temperature reactor accident conditions. Belgian Nuclear Research Centre SCK-CEN SCK-CEN, a Belgian nuclear research center, and the DOE will develop an international collaboration with INL to expand irradiation testing and post-irradiation examination (PIE) capabilities at their facilities. Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry (CRIEPI) CRIEPI, a Japanese nonprofit foundation that studies fission reactor concepts, seeks to collaborate with INL under DOE’s Fuel Cycle Research and Development (FCRD) program.The R&D will support development of metallic fast reactor systems. Westinghouse Electric Company DOE is supporting research to develop nuclear fuels and claddings that can withstand loss of active cooling in a reactor core for a considerably longer time while maintaining or improving the fuel performance during a range of operating conditions. Under this agreement, a Westinghouse testing facility will validate that experiment sensors can withstand irradiation conditions inside INL’s ATR. Beijing Research Institute of Uranium Geology (BRIUG) INL scientists will collaborate with BRIUG on the design of field hydraulic and tracer tests monitoring groundwater flow and radionuclide transport through fractured granite in the Beishan area of northwestern China. U.S. Geothermal, Inc. U.S. Geothermal will collaborate with INL to evaluate a hybrid plant configuration that will enable high efficiency conversion of solar heat to electrical power while increasing the power output of the geothermal cycle. Such a design has the potential to reduce the cost of electrical power from concentrating solar power (CSP) and geothermal plants. ESCAL Institute of AdvancedTechnologies, Inc., dba SANS Institute INL’s Mission Support Center (MSC) team and SANS, a global institution that focuses on computer and information security training, will create multiple cybersecurity course training opportunities for a wide range of U.S. government agencies and industry, focusing on engineering, industrial control systems and security analysis. Esri Esri, a world leader in geospatial analysis and critical infrastructure visualization, will collaborate with INL on R&D related to the creation and use of cyber/ physical and cyber/GIS solutions to protect critical infrastructure and critical missions.They will explore emerging cybersecurity and cyber-geospatial concepts and technologies to identify cyber vulnerabilities and protect against targeted attacks.
