Description/Abstract:
A SERIES OF CAPSULES WERE IRRADIATED IN THE MTR DURING THE PERIOD OF JUNE 1959 TO JULY 1962. THE OBJECTIVES WERE TO DETERMINE THE EFFECT OF PUO2 CONTENT ON RADIATION STABILITY OF UO2-PUO2, TO COMPARE THE PERFORMANCE OF FUEL CORES PREPARED WITH COPPTD UO2-PUO2 TO THOSE WITH MECH MIXTURE OF UO2-PUO2, AND TO INVESTIGATE IN-REACTOR SINTERING OF LOW DENSITY UO2-PUO2.
