FIRST SET OF FUEL ELEMENTS OF THE EL-3 REACTOR (in French)

Journal Article · · Bull. inform. sci. et tech. (Paris)
OSTI ID:4120987
Four sets of fuel elements used in the EL-3 Reactor have shown the excellent behavior of uranium- molybdenum alloys with molybdenum concentration from 1.5 to 10%. Some data on the behavior of the fuel elements with respect to the burn-up are given. The highest burn-up obtained was about 7000 Mwd/ton. The limitation on the burn-up was caused only by the loss of reactivity. No deformation of the fuel elements was observed. Some data on the fabrication of uranium-molybdenum fuel elements are given.
