Preliminary Feasibility of Printing, Microstructure Analysis and Mechanical Performance of a Down Selected Ni Alloy

This report is submitted as completion of a Milestone 3 deliverable under work package ORNL CT-23OR1304051 in support of the Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies (AMMT) program. The AMMT program is aiming at the faster incorporation of new materials and manufacturing technologies into complex nuclear-related systems. An integrated approach, combining advanced characterization, high-throughput and accelerated testing, modeling and simulation including machine learning and artificial intelligence will be employed. While 316H (Fe-16-18Cr-10-14Ni-2-3Mo-0.04-0.1C) has been identified as a key alloy to be integrated into the AMMT accelerated alloy qualification approach due its relevance for many current and future nuclear energy reactors, many other alloys could be considered for the advanced fabrication of innovate high-performance nuclear components. ANL, INL, ORNL and PNNL are collaborating on identifying the most promising alloy candidates relevant for the AMMT program. A selection criteria matrix was established to evaluate the alloys considering their relative importance and technological readiness levels for nuclear energy applications, with a focus on laser powder bed fusion (LPBF). Due to the broad range of potential candidate alloys, ORNL and INL focused on Ni-based alloys, while ANL and PNNL mainly evaluated Fe-based alloys. PNNL previously published materials scorecards reports on several key alloys and this report is providing a broader overview of Ni-based candidate alloys, expending beyond alloys well-known to the nuclear community. Of particular interest are alloys that are currently commercially available in powder form due to the growing demand from other industries that have invested heavily in additive manufacturing. Among these alloys, Haynes 282 (Fe-20Cr-20Co-8Mo) was selected due to its superior strength at high temperature compared to the code-qualified alloy 617 (Ni-20-24Cr-10-15Co-8-10Mo). To assess the integration of this new alloy into the AMMT digital manufacturing framework, we performed the rapid optimization of alloy 282 printing parameters on a Renishaw 250 machine, the fabrication of sufficient materials for extensive characterization and mechanical testing both at ORNL and INL, and added the printing data into the digital platform via the Peregrine software. A detailed analysis of the LPBF 718 alloy was also conducted, with creep specimens being tested at 600-650°C and characterized by advanced electron microscopy. The alloy superior mechanical strength and great printability associated with the extensive database that has already been generated highlight the promising potential of LPBF 718 as a candidate alloy for the AMMT program. INL, ANL and PNNL have generated similar reports and all the information will be compiled into a final M2 milestone report to provide the AMMT leadership team with clear recommendations on the down selection of reactor materials, as well as establish a roadmap for the qualification of these selected alloys.

Evaluation of an Accident Tolerant Fuel Leak in the Advanced Test Reactor

Accident Tolerant Fuels (ATF), which are nuclear fuel sources designed to withstand operational irregularities and incidents, have been a topic of interest in the nuclear industry for several decades. Interest in ATF technology surged following the 2011 accident at Fukushima Daiichi in Japan. At the Advanced Test Reactor (ATR), one of Idaho National Laboratory’s (INL) four operating nuclear reactors, the ATF program is a collaborative effort between the national laboratory and various stakeholders within the nuclear industry. This program focuses on the research and development of novel fuel compositions, cladding, and component materials with enhanced accident-resistant properties. During one of ATR’s 60-day operating cycles in 2024, the reactor experienced five unplanned shutdowns. Following the fifth shutdown, radiation monitors detected an increase in radiation levels coming from the loop piping. Subsequent water samples confirmed the cause was a leak of fission products from the ATF experiment, designated as ATF-2C. The source of the leak was identified as the instrumented section of the test train. The primary discussions in this paper are 1) the design of the ATF test train, 2) the operating parameters leading up to and following the detection of the leak, and 3) the quantification and characterization of the released fission products.

VTR Casting Furnace Conceptual Design

This TEV describes the development of a conceptual design for a fuel casting system to be used in the development and demonstration of fuel designs for the new Versatile Test Reactor (VTR). This system will be installed in the Fuel Manufacturing Facility (FMF). The system will be in a shielded glovebox and will be used to melt fuel materials and injection cast these materials into fuel slugs, which will further be used to fabricate fuel elements for the VTR. This TEV covers only the injection casting system itself. Operations such as removing the castings from the injection molds, trimming of the castings, and installation of the castings into fuel element cladding are beyond the scope of the TEV. The conceptual design herein is principally concerned with the mechanical portion of the casting system and does not include details of the control or power supply systems.

Development of Bismuth and Platinum Bi-Metallic Nanoparticles to Enhance Melt Wire Temperature Resolution

Advanced manufacturing (AM) based on direct-write (DW) technologies has emerged as the predominant enabler for the fabrication of active and passive sensors to be deployed in harsh operating environments seen in a nuclear reactor. Recently, Idaho National Laboratory and Boise State University have recently established capabilities to incorporate advanced manufacturing (AM) methods to accelerate, modernize and enhance functionality of nuclear sensors and instrumentation to achieve the goal of enhancing the safety and efficiency of nuclear reactors. A significant thrust of this work includes the development of nuclear relevant feedstock materials compatible with a variety of direct-write processes for the development, fabrication and testing of AM sensors for peak temperature detection and neutron flux monitoring. For this report, bismuth and bismuth/platinum (BiPt) bi-metallic nanoparticles were synthesized using wet chemical approaches to develop bi-metallic feedstock materials to enhance the sensitivity of melt wires for peak temperature detection. Nanoparticle characterization was performed with Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) for nanoparticle composition and size, Transmission X-Ray Diffraction Fluorescence (TXRF) for nanoparticle composition, and Differential Scanning Calorimetry to elucidate the melting point of BiPt bi-metallic nanoparticles. Preliminary results indicate bi-metallic BiPt nanoparticles as a viable pathway for fabricating high resolution AM melt wires.

Neutronic Safety Analysis of Pu-238 Production at Idaho National Laboratory

This analysis was completed to support the irradiation of plutonium fuel services (PFS) targets in the NEFT in the Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) as a part of the campaign to restart domestic production of plutonium-238 used in radioisotope power systems (RPS) by the National Aeronautical and Space Administration (NASA) and Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Nuclear Energy (NE), Office of Nuclear Infrastructure Program (NE-3). Referred to as the PFS-ATR-GEN1-NEFT experiment, the assembly was designed to hold 46 PFS targets in the NEFT. The scope of this paper is to outline the MOPY method used to calculate the heat generation rates (HGRs), flux, fission density, and quantify the viability of the target design for Pu-238 production in ATR.

Embedded Sensors in Additively Manufactured Silicon Carbide

Silicon carbide (SiC) components are being considered for a wide range of nuclear applications due to their high-temperature strength retention, low neutron absorption, chemical inertness, and dimensional stability under neutron irradiation. However, machining and joining of SiC components have traditionally limited its application to relatively simple geometries. Recent work has demonstrated additive manufacturing of complex, high-purity, crystalline SiC components using a combination of binder jet printing and densification via chemical vapor infiltration (CVI). The process lends itself to embedding of fuel, absorbers, moderators, and sensors at strategic locations within a component. The latter could allow for enhanced in situ performance monitoring of limiting fuel temperatures, self-shielded neutron flux, and potentially spatially distributed strain within complex SiC components if sensors can be successfully embedded during CVI. This work describes (1) methods for embedding sensors; (2) thermodynamic analyses and material compatibility testing for identifying sensors capable of surviving high temperatures and exposure to hydrogen and hydrogen chloride during CVI; and (3) nuclear applications for embedded sensors, including potential failure modes during fabrication and during reactor operation. Molybdenum-sheathed thermocouples were successfully embedded in a complex SiC component, whereas niobium-sheathed high-temperature irradiation-resistant thermocouples started to drift as soon as the reactant gases were introduced and ultimately failed during CVI due to severe constrained expansion, potentially resulting from niobium hydride formation in the low-temperature region of the CVI system. Optical fibers were successfully embedded in SiC, but further work is needed to protect the fragile fiber leads after their protective coatings are removed during CVI.

Experimental evaluation of direct current magnetron sputtered and high-power impulse magnetron sputtered Cr coatings on SiC for light water reactor applications

Two types of physical vapor deposition Cr coatings were deposited on chemical vapor deposited SiC coupons using conventional direct current magnetron sputtering (DCMS) and high-power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) to mitigate the corrosion of SiC, an advanced fuel and structural material in light water nuclear reactor cores. Coating microstructure was characterized using scanning electron microscopy and scanning transmission election microscopy. X-ray diffraction analysis was conducted for phase identification and qualitative analysis of residual stresses. The mechanical integrity of the coatings was evaluated using scratch testing, micro-indentation, and nano-indentation tests. Additionally, the microstructure of the DCMS coating consisted of fine columnar grains with nanoscale intercolumnar channels, while the HiPIMS microstructure was denser and free of any columnar defects. The DCMS coating showed a small tensile residual stress, while the HiPIMS coating was under compressive stress. Both types of coatings showed good mechanical integrity in terms of ductility and adhesion to the substrate. Corrosion performance of the coatings was assessed with a 30-day high temperature water autoclave test. Both types of coatings formed a protective Cr 2 O 3 surface layer 20-30 nm thick during the autoclave test. In the DCMS coating, the columnar defects provided permeation pathways for water penetration resulting in oxide formation in the intercolumnar regions in the interior of the coating. Overall, both types of Cr coatings offer promise for the mitigation of hydrothermal corrosion of SiC in light water reactor operating environments.

Conceptual Spacer Design for the ATR GEN I Target for Pu-238 Production in the Advanced Test Reactor at Idaho National Laboratory

The initial target design used for Pu-238 production at Idaho National Laboratory was designed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory to optimize the production of Pu-238 in the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) and are referred to as HFIR GEN II targets. To take advantage of the Advanced Test Reactor’s (ATR) taller active core region a redesign of the HFIR GEN II targets was needed. It was proposed to stack two HFIR GEN II targets nose to nose about the core center line; however, this resulted in excessive neutron and photon heating in the pellets located in the center. This peak heating was not desirable so three alternative designs were investigated for the ATR GEN I targets. The python-based code, MCNP to ORIGEN2 in Python (MOPY), was used to calculate the heating rates after 40 days of irradiation to capture the effects of each configuration. The purpose of this paper is to document the details of these conceptual design calculations and comparisons for the ATR GEN I targets.

Specimen sizing and remaining life sample calculations for high temperature reactor material surveillance

Advanced high-temperature nuclear reactors rely on structural components that will operate for decades under combined mechanical, thermal, and environmental loading. Materials surveillance programs are a promising strategy for managing the resulting uncertainty in long-term structural integrity by monitoring degradation in service using passively actuated mechanical test articles. Previous reports have developed a simplified, spreadsheetimplementable framework for sizing these test articles and for inferring accumulated creep damage and remaining life from ex-situ test data. This report advances that work toward practical deployment by providing a sample-problem book: a collection of worked, end-toend examples in which the ASME Section III, Division 5 design analysis of a representative high-temperature reactor component is carried through to a sized surveillance article, verified with detailed finite-element analysis, and concluded with a remaining-life assessment based on an assumed ex-situ creep-rate measurement on the retrieved specimen. The report also summarizes ongoing ANL engagement with ASTM Committee E10 on Nuclear Technology and Applications toward drafting a standard covering surveillance procedures for advanced reactors.

Design Report on the MiniFuel Instrumented Test Apparatus for Understanding Radiation Effects

Most nuclear fuels irradiations at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) over the past decade have been conducted using MiniFuel—a static capsule design employing subscale fuel specimens to collect separate-effects irradiated fuel performance data. Irradiation conditions for MiniFuel experiments are predicted pre-test using reactor physics, and thermal models are verified post-irradiation via SiC dilatometry and various spectrometry methods. Relevant fuel performance parameters are also observed post-irradiation in a hot cell, thereby providing a single data point for each parameter representing the cumulative effects of the irradiation conditions. Substantially more data can be harvested from a single test and within a shorter duration by instrumenting irradiation vehicles and measuring desired quantities in situ. This report presents the design and analysis of the MiniFuel INstrumented Irradiation Test Apparatus for Understanding Radiation Effects (MINITAURE)—an instrumented test rig based on the separate-effects MiniFuel concept that aims to capture fission gas release (FGR) and thermal conductivity degradation of fuel specimens during irradiation in the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR). MINITAURE will be integrated with the Materials Irradiation Facility (MIF) located in the HFIR building outside the reactor containment. The MIF will act as the instrumentation and control center for the experiment, enabling real-time feedback from in situ sensors and control of irradiation temperatures via a gas delivery system. Two unique capsule designs were developed to capture each phenomenon: the thermal conductivity capsule, which uses a thermopile method to estimate fuel specimen thermal conductivity, and the fission gas release capsule, which will have continuous flowing gas communication to high-purity germanium detectors that are housed in the MIF for monitoring FGR. This report details the reactor physics and heat transfer modeling activities that were used to inform the experiment design and predict capsule performance. It also describes out-of-pile activities conducted to stand up this new capability and verify the measurement techniques. Modeling efforts to date have demonstrated the feasibility of the in situ measurement techniques and supported the development of the MINITAURE assembly configuration. Out-of-pile testing of the thermal conductivity measurement shows promise in capturing relative changes in thermal conductivity. However, significant errors exist in the measured absolute value, posing a need for further refinement.

Investigation of irradiation damage and heat deposition: a comparative analysis for HEU-to-LEU conversion in HFIR

The planned conversion of the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory from highly enriched uranium (HEU) to low-enriched uranium (LEU) fuel requires detailed evaluation of experiment-relevant parameters to ensure continued performance for materials testing and isotope production. Here, this study presents the first comprehensive assessment of displacements per atom (dpa) and heat deposition rates in target materials within the HFIR flux trap with both HEU and candidate LEU core configurations. Seven analyses were conducted to evaluate key performance metrics, including fast neutron flux distribution, cross section response functions, cross section data, and local dpa and heat deposition rates using mesh- and cell-based tallies. Simulations employed Shift, Monte Carlo N-Particle (MCNP), and the HIFR Controller (HFIRCON) tool suite for high-fidelity transport and depletion modeling. The LEU designs—using U 3 Si 2 -Al dispersion fuel and operating at 95 MW—were compared to the current 85 MW HEU configuration. Results show that while the candidate LEU cores exhibit higher dpa rates due to a harder spectrum and extended cycle lengths, they also demonstrate reduced heat deposition rates in irradiation experiments, primarily due to increased gamma self-shielding from higher 238 U content in the core. These findings confirm that LEU conversion can maintain HFIR’s materials irradiation capabilities but may require redesigning existing experimental hardware.

Conceptual Model Testing Related to SDU 6 Drainwell Observations

From its inception in the early 1950s through the end of the Cold War in the early 1990s, the Savannah River Site (SRS) produced nuclear materials for national defense in five reactors. Additionally, irradiated reactor fuel and target tubes were dissolved in nitric acid to recover plutonium and uranium using the PUREX (Plutonium Uranium Reduction EXtraction) process. Liquid waste from these chemical separations processes was then stored onsite in 51 underground tanks. Eight waste storage tanks have been operationally closed (i.e. cleaned and grouted) and the remaining tanks hold a mixture of liquids, insoluble solids, and precipitated salts (SRMC-LWP-2022-00001), the latter generated by evaporating water from the liquid waste. Waste is currently being retrieved from tanks and separated into 1) high-radioactivity, low-volume, and 2) low-radioactivity, high-volume components, principally through the Salt Waste Processing Facility (SWPF) (SRMC-LWP-2023-00001). The former waste stream is vitrified in the Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF), stored onsite, and destined for offsite disposal in a deep geologic repository. The latter stream is mixed with dry cementitious materials in the Saltstone Production Facility (SPF) and the wet slurry placed in onsite Saltstone Disposal Units (SDUs) within the Saltstone Disposal Facility (SDF), where it hardens into a cement waste form termed saltstone. A low-infiltration surface cover system will be placed over the SDF at closure, where SDUs will then be in the subsurface post-closure (SRR-CWDA-2019-00001).
