Karnesky, R. A.; Jost, J. W.; Stone, I. Z.

The factors affecting the axial migration of cesium in mixed oxide fuel pins and the effects of cesium migration on fuel pin performance are examined. The development and application of a correlated model which will predict the occurrence of cesium migration in a mixed oxide (75 w/o UO/sub 2/ + 25 w/o PuO/sub 2/) fuel pins over a wide range of fabrication and irradiation conditions are described.
