OSTI ID:4147001
The swelling of enriched U)/sub 2/ at 300 to 1500 deg C and at burnups of 10 to 30 at. % was studied. Burnups in excess of 50 at. % and UO/sub 2/ temperatures in excess of 2600 deg F were achieved. Two types of UO/sub 2/ were studied: (1) highdensity, high-fired UO/sub 2/, particles dispersed in stainless steel and (2) low bulk density, steam-oxidized UO/sub 2/, powders in stainless steel.
