Thermoelectric energy converters offer a promising solution to generate electrical power using heat in the nuclear reactor core. Despite significant improvements thermoelectric efficiency of nanostructured materials, performance these advanced materials has yet be demonstrated harsh radiation environment Herein, we demonstrate generator (TEG) made from bulk half-Heusler (HH) generating stable d...

The Versatile Test Reactor (VTR) is a new fast spectrum test reactor being developed in the United States under direction of US Department Energy, Office Nuclear Energy. VTR mission to enable accelerated testing advanced fuels and materials required for technologies. This includes neutron irradiation capabilities which would support alternate coolants including molten salt, lead/lead-bismuth eu...
