BEHAVIOUR OF URANIUM OXIDE SPECIMENS SHEATHED IN ZIRCALOY-2 AND IRRADIATED IN A PRESSURIZED-WATER LOOP IN THE NRX REACTOR (TEST EEC-8)

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4162875
Various types of UO/sub 2/ and ThO/sub 2/-- UO/sub 2/ specimens, sheathed in Zircaloy-2 were irradiated to a burnup of 3850 Mwd/ tonne at a position of maximum flux. Aspects of dimensional stability, fission-gas release, and grain growth are discussed. (auth)
