One thing that' slightly worrying: > But during the INL tests, Demkowicz demonstrated that triso could withstand reactor temperatures over 3,200 degrees Fahrenheit. > ... > Sell says. “It is physically impossible—as in, against the laws of physics—for triso to melt in a reactor,” 3200 F = 1760 C > The first phase lasted only several seconds, with temperatures locally exceeding 2,600 °C, when a zirconium-uranium-oxide melt formed from no more than 30% of the core.[1] It seems like it's yet to be demonstrated that Triso fuel can withstand the highest recorded temperature inside a nuclear reactor. I get that the physically impossible quote is probably partially puffery, but IMO puffery is not appropriate when it comes to nuclear reactors. ___ 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corium_(nuclear_reactor)#Chernobyl_accident https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corium_(nuclear_reactor)#Chern...
