Methods of preserving a nuclear fuel element
Abstract
A method of preserving a nuclear fuel includes exposing a surface of a fuel element comprising aluminum to a phosphorus-containing acid and reacting the phosphorus-containing acid with the aluminum to form aluminum phosphate (AlPO4). A nuclear fuel element includes a nuclear fuel and a shell surrounding the nuclear fuel. The shell comprises aluminum phosphate.
