Nuclear Back End Webinar Series 1.3 - Accident Tolerant Fuels and Their Impact on Spent Fuel Management

This webinar is the third in the IAEA’s Nuclear Back End Webinar Series, focusing on evolutionary Accident Tolerant Fuel (eATF) designs and their impact in the different steps of fuel management after discharged from the reactor core: storage, transportation, recycling and disposal. During this webinar, international experts will provide an overview of the different accident tolerant fuel designs that can be deployed in the short term (next decade). It will assess the potential implications these designs may have on the backend of the fuel cycle and highlight the importance of collecting, during the development of these eATFs, data that will be necessary to implement backend steps, recognizing that some information needed to qualify fuels for reactors’ operation is also relevant for the backend.
