【英国《国际核工程》网站2015年7月10日报道】法国阿海珐集团(Areva)已向美国电力公司交付下一代压水堆燃料GAIA的首批先导试验燃料组件。GAIA燃料是为满足电力公司提高燃料安全性、可靠性和坚固性的要求而进行全球研发所取得的成果。其优势包括更好的热性能、固有的地震承受能力以及更高的机械性能。此外,GAIA还使用了先进包壳。2014年夏,包括道明尼公司(Dominion)、杜克能源公司(Duke Energy)、爱克斯龙公
(UK’s International Nuclear Project website, July 10, 2015) Areva, the French company, has already delivered the first pilot fuel assemblies to the U.S. power company for the next generation of pressurized water reactor fuel, GAIA. GAIA fuel is the result of a global R & D effort to meet the power company’s need to increase fuel safety, reliability and robustness. Advantages include better thermal performance, inherent seismic capacity, and higher mechanical properties. In addition, GAIA also uses advanced cladding. The summer of 2014, including Dominion, Duke Energy,
