Nanomaterials describe, in principle, materials of which a single unit is sized (in at least one dimension) between 1 to 1000 nanometres (10−9 meter) but usually is 1 to 100 nm (the usual definition of nanoscale).
A fuel qualification test (FQT) is planned for the development of the next-generation nuclear reactors. An EU-funded consortium has unveiled the experimental test facility containing a small fuel assembly comprised of multiple fuel pins.
