In recent years and months some countries started to label nuclear energy as clean energy because it does not increase the carbon footprint in the planet. Figure 1 shows that nuclear energy is the largest contribution of clean (or green) energy in the USA. This clean energy comes from the commercial operation of boiling water reactors (BWR) and pressurized water reactors (PWR). The total number of nuclear power reactors in the USA is slowly decreasing in time because they became non-economical to operate compared to the burning of natural gas. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported that in 2013 there were 102 light water reactors (LWR) producing electricity in the USA, but in 2020 the total LWR number decreased to 94 due to the decommissioning of eight reactors.

Thermal Shock Resistance of Fecral Alloys for Accident Tolerant Fuel Cladding Application

Product Number: 51317--8900-SG

After a loss of coolant accident a nuclear reactor needs to be flooded, quenching the fuel rods, which would suffer a thermal shock. Six commercial alloys of nuclear interest were tested for resistance to quenching measures after exposure to air at 1200°C for 2 hours.
