This experiment will provide the main data concerning the behaviour under irradiation in representative conditions of different innovative fuels (oxides, nitrides, metal alloys, cermets) and will allow qualification and validation of models developed to predict their performance. Preliminary design, fabrication results and issues are presented. </p>
