Abstract
Upon demand of the Laboratory for fuel reprocessing, six domestic metal uranium pellets were exposed to neutron flux ( 4 - 5 10{sup 12} n cm{sup -2} sec {sup -1}) in the RA reactor. Irradiation of fuel demanded special analyses for safety reasons. Weight of the fuel pellets was 13 - 20 g, having diameter 20 mm. pellets were placed in leak tight aluminium capsules with helium. The irradiation was dome in the aluminium experimental channel in the graphite reflector. Theoretical study has shown that the expected fuel temperature in the core could be up to 300 deg C at nominal power. For that reason temperature of the capsule with the uranium sample was measured during irradiation by using thermocouples. Results showed the discrepancy between measure and calculated values to be about 30%.
