DESCRIPTION:Accident Tolerant Fuel\, ATF\, is defined as fuel that can tol
 erate loss of active cooling\, in a severe accident scenario\, for a longe
 r time than current standard products. This gives operators more time to r
 eact and mitigate the accident before core meltdown. The extra time is oft
 en called the "Grace Time"\, and should be at least hours\, preferably day
 s\, to be meaningful.\nThe new fuel will be backfitted into existing light
  water reactors. Therefore\, in addition to providing an enhanced accident
  tolerance\, it must be compatible with current products with respect to\,
  e.g.\, geometry\, and perform at least as good under normal operation and
  anticipated transients.\nKey ingredients are fuel cladding tubes with hig
 h corrosion resistance in steam at elevated temperatures\, up to 1700° C\
 , and fuel pellets with enhanced metal density compared to ordinary UO2.\n
 There is a major\, global effort to develop ATF\, in collaboration between
  industry\, universities and laboratories. \n
