TEMPERATURES AND THERMAL STRESSES IN PILE FUEL RODS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4313043
The general equations relating temperatures and thermal stresses in pile fuel rods to their physical properties are given for the approximation of infinitely long rods. The relationships between the fuel rod stresses and those in a cooling cylinder are given. The available n measurements of pertinent physical properties are summarized. Numerical calculations of temperatures and stresses are made for the case of a beryllium oxide --uranium oxide pile. (auth)
