Pyrolytic carbon-coated nuclear fuel
Patent
·
OSTI ID:863023
- Oak Ridge, TN
- Wurlingen, CH
An improved nuclear fuel kernel having at least one pyrolytic carbon coating and a silicon carbon layer is provided in which extensive interaction of fission product lanthanides with the silicon carbon layer is avoided by providing sufficient UO.sub.2 to maintain the lanthanides as oxides during in-reactor use of said fuel.
