IRRADIATION TESTING OF NOVEL URANIUM DIOXIDE FUEL ELEMENTS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4226766

New types of fuel elements have been conceived at Hanford for PRTR, which will be applicable to Puenriched ceramics. Irradiation testing has followed development of fabrication techniques. Irradiation testing of four types of elements is discussed: internallyexternally cooled, sintered UO/sub 2/ tubes; swage compacted oxide powders; isostatic-formed fuel elements, and low- density, non-sintered UO/sub 2/. (W.D.M.)
