The industry’s most economical and reliable fuel solutions.

EnCore^® PWR High Energy Fuel

Westinghouse’s EnCore® High Energy Fuel program brings together enhanced accident tolerant technologies and high-performance features that are developed and deployed on a strategic timeline so utilities can gain safety, economic, and reliability benefits quickly.

• Capable of 18- and 24-month cycles through higher burnup and higher enrichment (LEU+).
• ADOPT™ doped fuel pellets that improve fuel cycle economics and enhance the accident tolerance of conventional fuel pellets.
• AXIOM® next generation fuel rod cladding, targeting high fuel duties, improved corrosion resistance, lower hydrogen pick-up and lower creep and growth.
• PRIME™ advanced fuel features improve fuel performance, reliability, and economics, while also providing additional margin at uprated conditions and higher burnup.
• Industry leading debris protection system consisting of PRIME bottom nozzle, oxide coated cladding, alloy 718 bottom grid and robust protection grid.

TRITON11^® BWR Fuel

With our TRITON11® BWR fuel, utilities can decrease fuel cycle costs by up to $6 million per cycle while increasing capacity factors.

• Innovative, best-in-class design improves economic performance over any existing 11x11 or 10x10 BWR fuel for Nordic, BWR/3-6 and ABWR Plants.
• Stronghold® 3D printed debris filter for world leading debris filtration
• HiFi™ cladding with optimized liner for enhanced burnup capability and mitigation of pellet-cladding interaction (PCI)
• ADOPT™ doped fuel pellets that improve fuel cycle economics and enhance the accident tolerance of conventional fuel pellets.
• Fuel delivery simplified, with a design capable of being safely shipped while channeled.
• Advanced sleeve-type spacer grids that resist debris capture and improve fuel economy by less parasitic absorption.
• High-performing materials such as the distortion-resistant Low Tin ZIRLO™ fuel channel and water rods.
