Fission product cesium may contribute to cladding strain in low oxygen-to-metal ratio (O/M) FBR fuel pins through localized reaction with fuel or UO/sub 2/ blanket pellets. Titanium oxide pellets were laboratory irradiation tested as candidate cesium getters for FBR fuel pins. Results indicate satisfactory performance.
