Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4227456
Reactors that can operate with natural uraniura as fuel and heavy water as moderator and coolant (NPD, CANDU) are considered. The proposed fuel, UO/sub 2/ clad with Zircaloy-2, is discussed in terms of preparation, corrosion resistance, and irradiation behavior. The use of Zircaloy-2 as the structural material is justified.
