Assessment of thermophysical property characterization of MiniFuel scale geometries
In this report, thermophysical characterization of a set of test specimens adopting MiniFuel geometries is described. Specific heat capacity and thermal diffusivity of metallic samples (copper, 304 stainless steel, and Inconel 600) and two nuclear fuel samples (UO2 and U3Si2) are measured. The primary aim is to validate and assess the feasibility of thermophysical characterization of fuels with MiniFuel geometries that will be irradiated at the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL).
