Fission gas retention and axial expansion of irradiated metallic fuel
Direct electrical heating and infrared heating techniques were used in out-of-reactor experiments on irradiated metallic fuel. The results indicate that accelerated expansion can occur during thermal transients and that the accelerated expansion is driven by retained fission gases. The results also demonstrate that gas retention and, hence, expansion behavior is a function of axial position within the pin. 12 refs., 12 figs.
