IRRADIATION OF URANIUM MONOCARBIDE

Journal Article · · Nuclear Sci. and Eng.
OSTI ID:4166931
Uranium carbide containing about 5.2 wt.% carbon was irradiated to nominal burnups of 1000 and 5000 Mwd/ton of carbide. Some cracking was observed. The observed density decreases were about the same at 1000 and 5000 Mwd/ton irradiations, being 0.7 to 2.5 and O.6 to 2.5a. respectively. The effects of irradiation on surface damage, cracking, and density decrease are discussed. (auth)
