Draft:Advanced Doped Pellet Technology

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Advanced Doped Pellet Technology (ADOPT) is a proprietary uranium oxide-based nuclear fuel developed by Westinghouse that is doped with chromium(III) oxide and aluminum oxide.[1][2] Tests show ADOPT pellets as being more efficient relative to un-doped pellets..[3]
