TY  - CHAP
AB  - Ceramics have played a vital role in the rise of nuclear power since its inception in the mid-20th century. Their development and improved understanding are still driving improvements in the safety, efficiency, and reliability of nuclear power (where it remains the leading source of low carbon energy) and these are having beneficial knock-on effects related to nuclear power’s economic benefits. In this chapter, we discuss the leading fuel concepts starting with uranium dioxide (discussing its manufacture and operation), as well as considering the potential advanced fuels including the so-called accident tolerant fuel candidate materials. Ceramics used to improve fuel cycle costs (e.g., burnable absorbers), ceramics formed or applied as protective barriers reducing corrosion and moderating ceramics are also discussed. Finally, a section on nuclear waste management is provided highlighting the pivotal role of ceramic and glassy waste forms.
