摘要
The concept of cermet (ceramic-metallic) fuel for LWRs is considered. Cermet fuel utilization allows one to reduce the fuel operating temperature and to increase reactor safety under DBAs (Design Basis Accident). A general consideration of the cermet fuel application as well as design features and fabrication techniques of cermet fuel pins are presented in the paper.
