SOME FACTORS INFLUENCING THE COMPATIBILITY OF METALS WITH SODIUM, POTASSIUM AND URANIUM

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4246752
The various factors which may influence the compatibilities of metals with sodium, potassium, and uranium are considered. Where possible these have been assessed using data which can be calculated or are already available in the literature. By studying the relation between the position of metals in the periodic classification and their compatibilities, it is shown that the most likely constructionsl metals for a fast reactor fuel element container are to be found in Groups IV, V, and VI. (auth) The efficiencies of lead zirconate--lead titanate and lead metaniobate systems compared to lead titanate-barium titanate system as a voltage generator and as an energy generator are presented.
