Irradiation of an Aluminum Alloy-clad, Aluminum-uranium Alloy-fueled Plate

Languages : en
Pages : 52
Book Description
Irradiation tests of an aluminum-alloy-clad aluminum -uranium alloy- fueled plate were discontinued due to cladding failure after a maximum burnup of 58%. Cause of the failure was local corrosion of the aluminum alloy. Swelling was observed which was attributed to the combination of high burnup and high fuel temperatures.

Book Description
A series of preliminary irradiations has been made on ceramic fuels of interest for thermal reactors. Most of the studies were devoted to ThO/sub 2/-U0/ sub 2/ compositions because of certain advantages possessed by this material. ThO/sub 2/-2.5 wt.% U0/sub 2/ and ThO/sub 2/-10 wt.% pellets were irradiated bare and in stainless steel, Zircaloy, and aluminum alloy claddings, with the annulus between the ceramic pellets and the cladding filled with air, a helium -argon mixture, NaK, or lead. It was found that the ThO/sub 2/-U0/sub 2/ specimens were highly stable under irradiation. The U0/sub 2/ and U0/sub 2/-Zr specimens showed a relatively greater tendency to fracture during irradiation. Assemblies of ThO/ sub 2/-10 wt.% U0/sub 2/ pellets leadbonded to aluminum alloy cladding were found to be able to withstand higher heat fluxes without damage than similar assemblies with helium -argon bonding.
