“…Although these accomplishments show positive progress toward the use of AM in nuclear reactors, a far greater yet achievable milestone would be deploying an advanced reactor design whose performance is improved through AM features. AM of nuclear fuel-related structures has been an R&D topic in both the TCR program [34] and elsewhere [35][36][37][38]. Some approaches could significantly increase nuclear core performance; however, these newer technologies are likely still years away before they could be adopted for a demonstration reactor.…”

“…In addition, there have been many efforts to apply AM techniques for heat exchangers and turbomachinery that are potentially relevant to the reactor industry [9]. The AM method using a laser energy source with Zr/uranium and Si powder was utilized to fabricate an accident-tolerant nuclear fuel at a lower cost [10]. These cases determined that the use of AM techniques in the field of nuclear reactor are economical and promising.…”
