“…The high temperature reactor (HTR) is considered one of the most promising candidates for the production of nuclear energy due to a series of features which include the enclosure of its fuel kernel with several layers of ceramics [1,2]. This type of fuel, known as TRISO (tristructural isotropic) coated fuel particle, is made of three layers of pyrolytic carbon (buffer, inner pyrolytic carbon and outer pyrolytic carbon) and one of silicon carbide (SiC) (Fig.…”

“…Many elements containing high-enriched uranium and thorium oxide fuels have been successfully tested in Material Testing Reactors (MTRs) and in Advanced Very High Temperature Reactor (AVR) under high temperatures. The development of spherical fuel elements for HTR-designs in Germany had been tremendously amazing and in 2002, that was specifically given to the development, production and characterization including kernel and coatings as well as to the irradiation and post-irradiation examination of the different coated particle systems [21]. In the framework of the French V/HTR fuel development and qualification program, the Commissariat a` l'Energie Atomique (CEA) and AREVA conducted R&D projects dealing with the mastering of UO 2 coated particle and fuel compact fabrication technology.…”

STRATEGY TO SUPPORT HTGR FUEL FOR THE 10 MW INDONESIA'S EXPERIMENTAL POWER REACTOR (RDE). The Indonesia's 10 MW experimental power reactor (RDE) is developed based on high temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) and the program of the RDE was firstly introduced to the Agency for National Development Planning (BAPPENAS) at the beginning of 2014. The RDE program is expected to have positive impacts on community prosperity, self-reliance and sovereignty of Indonesia. The availability of RDE will be able to accelerate advanced nuclear power technology development and hence elevate Indonesia to be the nuclear champion in the ASEAN region. The RDE is expected to be operable in 2022/2023. In terms of fuel supply for the reactor, the first batch of RDE fuel will be inclusive in the RDE engineering, procurement and construction (RDE-EPC) contract for the assurance of the RDE reactor operation from 2023 to 2027. Consideration of RDE fuel plant construction is important as RDE can be the basis for the development of reactors of similar type with small-medium power (25 MWe-200/300 MWe), which are preferable for eastern part of Indonesia. To study the feasibility of the construction of RDE fuel plant, current state of the art of the R&D on HTGR fuel in some advanced countries such as European countries, the United States, South Africa and Japan will be discussed and overviewed to draw a conclusion about the prospective countries for supporting the fuel for long-term RDE operation. The strategy and roadmap for the preparation of the RDE fuel plant construction with the involvement of national stakeholders have been developed. The best possible vendor country to support HTGR fuel for long-term operation is finally accomplished. In the end, this paper can be assigned as a reference for the planning and construction of HTGR RDE fuel fabrication plant in Indonesia.Keywords: RDE, Indonesia, HTGR, fuel, strategy.
