Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The premature failure of fuel Element M22, which had six compartments of 0.100-in.-thick, 96% TD UO/sub 2/ + 6 wt% ZrO/sub 2/ fuel, was attributed to the large irradiation-induced solid volume swelling of the UO/sub 2/ fuels. This volume swelling was the result of incomplete homogenization during fabrication of the mixed and sintered U/sup E/O/sub 2/ and U/sup N/O/sub 2/ fuel s in Element M22. In addition, heavy hydriding of the Ni-free Zircaloy-2 cladding occurred in the relatively hot areas adjacent to the fuel and to a lesser extent at the external cladding surfaces. By postulation, H/sub 2/ was apparently formed by the radiolytic decomposition of water entrapped between fuel and cladding after formation of the initial cladding defect, and was absorbed by the cladding so rapidly that it could not diffuse adequately down the thermal gradient to the cold side of the cladding. The corrosion behavior of the cladding was as expected and did not contribute to the hydriding. Analysis of the CR-X-3 loop operating history indicates that no abnormal conditions external to Element M22 existed in the loop other than U from inpile intentionally defected fuel elements. (auth).

Book Synopsis Postirradiation Examination and Evaluation of an OMRE Fuel Assembly by : Richard J. Burian
Download or read book Postirradiation Examination and Evaluation of an OMRE Fuel Assembly written by Richard J. Burian and published by . This book was released on 1959 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fuel-element assembly from the first loading of the OMRE was examined in detail after experiencing an average uranium burnup of between 1 and 2 at.%. The rate of decay heat generation was evaluated by temperature monitoring of the shipping-cask coolant. Temperatures of the fuel-element-box assembly and the fuel plates were measured with thermocouples and tempilstiks. Structurally, the fuel-element assembly was affected very little by either radiation or the organic coolant-moderator. Although there was some distortion in the side and end plates of the assembly, the coolant channels between the fuel plates were free from major fouling and obstructions. The channel cross sections were reduced at specific points less than 5 per cent. The plates studied were subjected to complete gamma scanning. Specimens removed from selected areas of the scanned plates were radiochemically analyzed for burnup and the results correlated with the gamma-scan data. Burnup profiles were constructed for each of the scanned plates. The gamma-scan data were also utilized to determine the average plate burnup. (auth).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: APPR-type dispersion fuel element specimens containing temperature to respective burnups of approximately 50, 20, and 20% of uranium with no evidence of gross dimensional changes or loss of structural integrity. Blistering and/or core cracking has occurred when sections of 17.9 wt.% UO/sub 2/ specimens irradiated to burnups over 40% of uranium were subjected to post-irradiation annealing at 600 deg F for 24 hours. Post-irradiation core hardness measurements indicate that significant differences in irradiation damage exist between the various specimen types. These data indicate that the effects of the fabrication variables investigated in this program are as follows: The severity of irradiation damage in dispersion type fuel elements is inversely proportional to the UO/sub 2/ particle size of the fabricated plate. The particle size of the UO/ sub 2/ powder used in preparation of the initial core compact and the method of preparation of the UO/sub 2/ powders largely determine the final UO/sub 2/ particle size of roll-bonded, dispersion fuel plates. The particle size of the stainless steel powder used in the initial core mixture and the degree of cold reduction during final sizing of the fuel plate are apparently of relatively minor importance, at least for the systems investigated in this program. The severity of irradiation damage is directly proportional to the fuel concentration. Where an increased fuel loading is accompanied by an increase in the loading of the B/sub 4/C burnable poison to facilitate reactor control, the possibility of serious irradiation effects is increased to an even greater degree.

Book Synopsis Supplement A to PT-IP-263-A-FP Evaluation of Chemically Nickel Plated Fuel Elements by :
Download or read book Supplement A to PT-IP-263-A-FP Evaluation of Chemically Nickel Plated Fuel Elements written by and published by . This book was released on 1961 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Irradiation of the initial test in this program involving ten tubes of alternately charged nickel-plated C-64 alloy clad test elements and X-8001 alloy control elements has been successfully completed. The test indicated that the nickel-plate spalling problem has been resolved as no significant spalling or flaking was observed during the post-irradiation examination. The second test in this program will be to verify the performance of nickel-plate with a pilot loading (up to 100 charges) of fuel elements which have been nickel-plated on a production basis. The objectives of this test are to demonstrate with a larger scale test that nickel-plate performs satisfactorily and that reducing the nominal plate thickness from .6 mil to .2 mil will not affect the performance of the nickel-plate fuel element. This test authorizes the irradiation of up to 100 columns of OIIN, chemically nickel-plated, C-64 alloy jacketed fuel elements to 200% of normal goal exposure to extend the evaluation of nickel-plated fuel elements on a pilot scale at DR Reactor. Seventy columns will be plated to a nominal thickness of .6 mil and thirty columns to a nominal .2 mil thickness. Twenty measured columns, ten representing each plate thickness, will be charged to monitor the irradiation performance. Effluent samples will be obtained during the course of the test from a pair of tubes, each tube containing a measured monitor charge representing each plate thickness.

Book Synopsis Postirradiation Examination of a Low Enriched U[sub 3]i[sub 2]-Al Fuel Element Manufactured and Irradiated at Batan, Indonesia by :
Download or read book Postirradiation Examination of a Low Enriched U[sub 3]i[sub 2]-Al Fuel Element Manufactured and Irradiated at Batan, Indonesia written by and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first low-enriched U[sub 3]Si[sub 2]-Al dispersion plate-type fuel element produced at the Nuclear Fuel Element Center, BATAN, Indonesia, was irradiated to a peak [sup 235]U burnup of 62%. Postirradiation examinations performed to data shows the irradiation behavior of this element to be similar to that of U[sub 3]Si[sub 2]-Al plate-type fuel produced and tested at other institutions. The main effect of irradiation on the fuel plates is a thickness increase of 30--40 [mu]m (2.5-3.0%). This thickness increase is almost entirely due to the formation of a corrosion layer (Boehmite). The contribution of fuel swelling to the thickness increase is rather small (less than 10 [mu]m) commensurate with the burnup of the fuel and the relatively moderate as-fabricated fuel volume fraction of 27% in the fuel meat.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A low-enrichment uranium (LEU) irradiation test (SIMONE project) was performed in the 45 MW Petten High-flux Reactor (HFR) as part of the Reduced Enrichment for Research and Test Reactor (RERTR) program. An LEU U3Si{sub 1.6}-Al dispersion fuel element with a fuel loading of 5.5 g cm−3 was irradiated and performed well to a total burnup of 66% and a peak burnup of 85%. The swelling behavior of the fuel was similar to that observed in previous U3Si(subscript x) irradiation experiments. The resulting fuel plate thickness increases and associated changes in coolant channel cross-sections were well within acceptable limits.

This book was released on 1979 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peach Bottom fuel test elements FTE-14 and FTE-15 were companion nonaccelerated tests of fuel rods and fuel particles representative of the Large High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor (LHTGR). The purpose of the tests was to broaden the data base of H-327 graphite and various fuel types; specifically, UO2, UC2, weak acid resin UC(subscript x)/O/sub y/, and several fertile fuel types were tested. The irradiation reached peak fuel temperatures of 1600°C volume- and time-averaged temperatures of 1300°C, and fast fluence exposures up to 2 x 1025 n/m2 (E> 29 fJ)/sub HTGR/. Experimental results were compared with predictions based on accelerated irradiation tests, postirradiation heating, and other Peach Bottom test elements to validate HTGR design codes. The nuclear design predictions were modified by measurements which allowed the verification of thermal design calculations and thermocouple readings.
