DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/4282942· OSTI ID:4282942
Irradiations of uranium true single crystals and lineage crystals are described. Analysis of the dimensional and shape changes results in the crystallographic deformation rates: G/sub STA001!/ = -420 plus or minus 20, G/ sub STA010!/ = 420 plus or minus 20, and G/sub STA001!/ = 0 plus or minus , where G is the logarithmic increment divided by the fission ratio. The lineage crystals elongated in the STA010! direction at appreciably higher rates than the single crystals. (auth)
