Nonoxide ceramic interactions with uranium or carbon. [Reaction of BN, TiN, HfC, CeS, or Ce2S3 with U, C, BeO, W, or Y2O3]

Description: The interaction of possible nonoxide containment materials (including boron nitride, titanium nitride, hafnium carbide, and two cerium sulfides) with uranium or carbon has been examined by thermal analysis techniques. Additionally, nonoxide-ceramic interaction with beryllia, tungsten, or yttria was investigated. Hafnium carbide is the least reactive nonoxide ceramic tested.

Irradiation Behavior of Beo-Uo$Sub 2$ Fuel as a Function of Fuel-Particle Size

Description: One capsule containing BeO-30 vol% UO/sub 2/ fuel pellets was irradiated to a uranium burnup of approximately 30,000 Mwd/t. The results of a microscopic examination and physical measurements made during the hot-cell examination of the capsule were described. (auth)

Description of Ornl Pool Type Critical Facility

Description: The Pool Type Critical Facility (PTCF) is a low powered, highly eariched (90 to 95% U/sup 235/) ordinary light water cooled and moderated, beryllium oxide reflected assembly. It is generally similar to the present BSR at ORNL, the principal modification being that the grid plate is arranged to accommodate both ORR and BSR fuel elements. The PTCF is located in the northwest corner of the existing BSR pool. The 9 x 7 lattice provides 63 fuel, control rod, or reflector positions. (W.D.M.)
