Accident tolerant fuels for LWRs: A perspective

TL;DR: In this article, three general strategies for accident tolerant fuels are explored: modification of current state-of-the-art zirconium alloy cladding to further improve oxidation resistance (including use of coatings), replacement of Zr Alloy cladding with an alternative oxidation resistant high-performance cladding, and replacement of the monolithic ceramic oxide fuel with alternative fuel forms.
