PRELIMINARY IRRADIATIONS OF PuC AND UC-PuC

Conference ·
OSTI ID:4767563
The C content of the specimens used in the irradiations ranged from 4.75to 5.73%. The Pu content of the mixed carbide specimens was varied from 17.2 to 27.8%. Results are presented of tests in which PuC and mixed carbide specimens were irradiated to burnups ranging from 500 to 770 Mwd/mt at central temperatures ranging from 370 to 850 deg C. Pressed and sintered pellets of mixed carbide were irradiated to burnups ranging from 54 to 810 Mwd/mt and central fuel temperatures at 260 to 380 deg C. (J.R.D.)
