Westinghouse Electric has loaded its EnCore accident-tolerant fuel at Exelon Generation’s Byron-2 nuclear power plant in Illinois, the company said in a statement

Westinghouse said this is the first insertion of EnCore fuel assemblies into a commercial nuclear power plant.

The operation was carried out during a scheduled refuelling outage at Byron-2.

Westinghouse said the two lead test assemblies contain chromium-coated zirconium cladding for enhanced oxidation and corrosion resistance, higher density fuel pellets for improved fuel economics, and uranium silicide pellets.
