Burnable absorber materials for fast/thermal designs (B4C, Gd2O3, Er2O3, Hf) Shield

Burnable absorber materials for fast/thermal designs (B4C, Gd2O3, Er2O3, Hf) for Advanced Non-LWR Fuel Forms & Absorber Products applications. Specialized fuel pellet/compact/pebble/pin/cartridge products and in-core absorber materials for SMR and Generation IV reactors. Includes TRISO-based fuel articles, fast-spectrum metallic and nitride fuel pins, and burnable/control absorber material articles used as fuel-cycle products. Excludes bulk structural moderator/reflector material forms, SiC/SiC composite material supply, and fuel-salt chemistry feedstock (see Specialty Materials, Alloys & Advanced Material Forms under Advanced Manufacturing & Materials). Developer status, reactor concept ownership, R&D participation, investor materials, or project membership alone is insufficient; DS assignment requires evidence of an externally supplied physical fuel article, absorber product, component, or equipment.
