OSTI ID:4350586
From international nuclear industries fair; Basel, Switzerland (16 Oct 1972). A survey of some of the most interesting fuel clad elongation, pellet stack elongation and fuel rod diameter measurements at the Halden Project is given. The results show how the different fuel design parameters, pellet lengih, fuel-to-clad gap, pellet end-shape, fuel density and a center hole will affect the fuelclad mechanical interaction and dimensional changes of fuel rods.
