Nuclear -- Tiny Test Fuels

Caption

The ORNL-designed MiniFuel significantly decreases the size of fuel specimens and capsules that are irradiated in ORNL's High Flux Isotope Reactor. The smaller experiments allow researchers to better control various conditions during irradiation and improve interpretation of data during post-irradiation examination.
