Zusammenfassung:Prior to March 2011, the emphasis for advanced fuel R&D activities was on improving the fuel performance for waste minimization and increased power density, as well as collaborating with industry on fuel reliability. Following the event at Fukushima in 2011, enhancing the accident tolerance of light water reactors (LWRs) became a topic of serious discussion in the United States.
