Dissolution behavior of FFTF fuel

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6433367

These tests, using FFTF fuel, show that fuel fragmentation and dislodgement from the cladding occurs rather early in the dissolution. The large surface areas of the fuel fragments will lead to rapid dissolution, certainly more rapid than would be expected if the fuel remained within the cladding and dissolved from the open ends, as is sometimes assumed.
