Breakthrough in Fuel Technology: The TRISO Fuel
One of the most promising advancements is the development of TRISO fuel—short for TRansportable Integrated Structural Optimization. This innovative fuel consists of tiny uranium particles coated with layers of carbon and ceramic materials, encapsulated within a robust casing. The design ensures that fission gases are hermetically sealed, making the fuel extremely safe, durable, and resistant to accidents.
