Title: Report of Iridium/{sup 238}PuO{sub 2} Compatibility Test

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/785018· OSTI ID:785018

This study indicates that the chemical purity of the fuel used presently to fabricate fueled clad vent sets will not present any special problems to the performance of the fueled clad vent sets as intended. However, cation impurities in the fuel can have a deleterious effect on the iridium cladding and vents and should be minimized as much as practical.
