Product Feature – Advanced Doped Pellet Technology (ADOPT™)

ADOPT™ fuel is our advanced doped pellet developed to improve fuel cycle economics and accident tolerance. The innovative pellet design increases burn efficiency and corrosion resistance for near-term performance enhancements, while also supporting achieving higher fuel burnups through increased enrichments.

By doping the pellets with small amounts of chromia and alumina, ADOPT fuel achieves greater uranium efficiency and a 50 percent lower oxidation rate compared to conventional uranium oxide pellets.
