FUEL ELEMENT DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM FOR THE PEBBLE BED REACTOR. A Topical Report on SUB-SURFACE COATINGS FOR FUELED GRAPHITE SPHERES

Description: An exploratory program on subsurface coatin8s for graphite fuel elements is summarized. A number of coatings with various melting points which could be located beneath the surface of a fueled graphite sphere were investigated. Of the materials with lower melting points. nickel and a special glass compound appeared to form continuous coatings when a hot-pressing technique was employed. Several materials with high melting points. such as Ti, Cr, and MoSi/sub 2/, showed some promise, even though p… more

Production of Pebble-Type Fuel Elements

Description: A capillary-drop method of producing spherical shapes of brittle materials less than 0.l00 inch in diameter was developed. It appears to be a feasible means for producing large numbers of pebble-tyne fuel element cores. Coating of pebble-type fuel element cores by the coating-pan technique, though not adequately developed, showed promise. (auth)
