NRC To Review Westinghouse Doped Pellet Report
[UPDATED] After deliveries to more than 25 regions across Europe, the Advanced Doped Pellet Technology doped pellets are one step closer to U.S. commercialization, Westinghouse announced this week.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has informed Westinghouse of their acceptance to review Topical Report WCAP-18482-P/WCAP-18482-NP, Revision 0, “Westinghouse Advanced Doped Pellet Technology (ADOPTTM) Fuel.” The report was originally submitted to the NRC in May 2020, and a draft safety evaluation is expected in summer 2021.
This milestone is a major achievement for the advanced fuel portfolio Westinghouse is developing as part of our EnCore® fuel program. ADOPT fuel, among other innovative products, provides higher density fuel and added energy, in supporting higher fuel burnups through increased enrichments.

Topical Report WCAP-18482-P/WCAP-18482-NP, Revision 0 was originally submitted to the NRC in May 2020, and a draft safety evaluation is expected early in the summer of this year, Westinghouse has said.
ADOPT fuel pellets have been designed to improve fuel cycle economics and accident tolerance. The fuel pellets are doped with small amounts of chromia and alumina, enabling them to achieve greater uranium efficiency and a 50% lower oxidation rate compared to conventional uranium oxide pellets. The pellets are suitable for use in all Westinghouse and Combustion Engineering pressurised water reactor and boiling water reactor designs and are compatible with all
