Cs--U--O Phase Diagram and its Application to Uranium--Plutonium Oxide Fast Reactor Fuel Pins

Description: Portions of the cesium-uranium-oxygen system have been investigated between 873 and 1273°K and a phase diagram has been constructed using our data and the data of other workers in the field. Thermodynamic and kinetic data have been used to examine the reactions that occur in fast-reactor fuel pins between fission-product cesium and the uranium oxide blanket. It was concluded that at the low oxygen potentials existing at the interface between the uranium-plutonium mixed-oxide and the uranium oxi… more

Postirradiation Examinations of Fuel Pins from the GCFR F-1 Series of Mixed-Oxide Fuel Pins at 5. 5 at. % Burnup

Description: Postirradiation examinations were performed on five fuel pins from the Gas-Cooled Fast-Breeder Reactor F-1 experiment irradiated in EBR-II to a peak burnup of approximately 5.5 at. %. These encapsulated fuel pins were irradiated at peak-power linear ratings from approximately 13 to 15 kW/ft and peak cladding inside diameter temperatures from approximately 625 to 760°C. The maximum diametral change that occurred during irradiation was 0.2% .delta.D/D₀. The maximum fuel-cladding chemical interact… more
