PROBLEM OF LOW MELTING POINT EUTECTICS AT FUEL ELEMENT INTERFACE

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4313972

Work performed under contract with the Detroit Edison Co. and the Dow Chemical Co. The effects of low-melting-point U- Fe or U-Ni eutectics being formed at the interface of U-Cr and U-Zr fuel alloys in the proposed APDA reactor are discussed. From the temperature distribution it appears that the low-melting- point eutectics at the fuel element interface will not cause any damage to the reactor fuel elements. (R.V.J.)
