12 May 2021 Share Lightbridge Corporation has demonstrated the manufacturing process for surrogate fuel rods for commercial-scale small modular reactors, using an internally developed and patented high-temperature coextrusion process. Surrogate rod coextrusion billets and components (Image: Lightbridge) The six-foot (1.8 metre) length of the surrogate rods is typical of the fuel rods used by many small modular reactors now in the development and licensing phases, the Reston, Virginia-based company said. Future fabrication of high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) rodlets for loop irradiation testing in Idaho National Laboratory s Advanced Test Reactor and, ultimately, of commercial length HALEU fuel rods, will use similar extrusion and casting techniques. This will create material chemistry and grain structures representative of Lightbridge Fuel. Using surrogate materials is a cost-effective approach to fabrication development as it does not require uranium material, the com
