PROTECTION OF URANIUM
Patent
·
OSTI ID:4107692
The reacter fuel element comprising urainium clad with aluminum can be improved by providing an interlayer between the uranium and the cladding, thereby circumventing the tendency of these two metals to form intermetallic compounds above 400 deg C. Such an interlayer consists of a niobium coating on the aluminum side and a 0.001-in. thick nickel coating on the uranium side. In one preferred method of fabrication, NbCl/sub 5/ and H/sub 2/ gases are passed over the nickel- coated urainium whereby niobium is deposited on the nickel. (D.L.C.)
