NEW DEVELOPMENT TENDENCIES IN THE RANGE OF REACTOR FUEL ELEMENTS. II (in German)

OSTI ID:4163092
The properties of ceramic fuel elements, uranium dioxides and carbides, and of cladding materials proposed and used for these fuel elements are described. In ceramic fuel elements compounded with a suitable canning material, a possible buru-up up to 10,000 Mwd/t is expected, whereas in the metallic fuel elements the most favorable burn-up to be expected is 300 Mwd/t. Difficulties, such as the heat conductivity of the ceramic fuel elements, must be overcome by suitable distribution or molding of the elements and by combination with metallic materials. (tr-auth)
