The response of TRISO fuel under irradiation is complex and dictated by the integrated nature of all components which define the TRISO fuel architecture. Potential failure mechanisms have been well understood and iterative improvements to the TRISO fuel architecture have been made to ensure optimized performance for different reactor designs. Ultimately, modern TRISO fuel for HTGR applications has exceeded performance targets.
