Thermal stability of fission gas bubble superlattice in irradiated U–10Mo fuel

Journal Article Gan, J. ; Keiser, D. D. ; Miller, B. D. ; ... - Journal of Nuclear Materials

To investigate the thermal stability of the fission gas bubble superlattice, a key microstructural feature in both irradiated U-7Mo dispersion and U-10Mo monolithic fuel plates, a FIB-TEM sample of the irradiated U-10Mo fuel with a local fission density of 3.5×10²¹ fissions/cm³ was used for an in-situ heating TEM experiment. The temperature of the heating holder was raised at a ramp rate of approximately 10 ºC/min up to ~700 ºC, kept at that temperature for about 34 min, continued to 850 ºC with a reduced rate of 5 ºC/min. The result shows a high thermal stability of the fission gas bubblemore »« less

Early self-organization of fission gas bubble superlattice formation in neutron-irradiated monolithic U-10Mo fuels

Journal Article Smith, Charlyne A. ; Bawane, Kaustubh Krishna ; Salvato, Daniele ; ... - Journal of Nuclear Materials

Self-organization of defect superlattices in far-from-equilibrium systems presents a promising way to mitigate swelling concerns in nuclear materials. The gas bubble superlattice (GBS) is a highly ordered, three-dimensional complex defect structure that can retain fission gasses in Uranium-Molybdenum (U-Mo) fuels. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) investigation of monolithic U-10Mo fuel irradiated to 1.15 × 10²¹ fissions/cm³ and 1.30 × 10²¹ fissions/cm³ revealed that early-stage ordering preferentially occurs at the grain boundaries (GB) and that the critical bubble size for complete ordering is ~3 nm. Once formed at the GB, the GBS extends towards the grain interior; however, the spread in distancemore »« less

The role of UC inclusions in the development of fission gas bubble superlattice neutron-irradiated monolithic U-10Mo fuels

Journal Article Smith, Charlyne ; Bawane, Kaustubh ; Gan, Jian ; ... - Journal of Nuclear Materials

Uranium Carbide (UC) inclusions are the most prevalent impurities in Uranium-Molybdenum (U-Mo) fuel and are considered undesirable because they could potentially affect fuel performance. This work revealed that, like grain boundaries (gBs), UC inclusions could help facilitate the formation of the fission gas bubble superlattice (GBS). The GBS is a highly organized complex defect structure that can effectively store fission gases, thereby inhibiting fuel swelling. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed that GBS self-organization can initiate at the UC/U-Mo interfaces in U-10Mo fuel irradiated to low fission density. Furthermore, this study also revealed that the UC boundary in U-10Mo irradiated tomore »« less

Transmission electron microscopy characterization of the fission gas bubble superlattice in irradiated U-7wt% Mo dispersion fuels

Journal Article Miller, B. D. ; Gan, J. ; Keiser, D. D. ; ... - Journal of Nuclear Materials

Transmission electron microscopy characterization of irradiated U-7wt% Mo dispersion fuel was performed on various samples to understand the effect of irradiation parameters (fission density, fission rate, and temperature) on the self-organized fission-gas-bubble superlattice that forms in the irradiated U-Mo fuel. The bubble superlattice was seen to form a face-centered cubic structure coherent with the host U-7wt% Mo body centered cubic structure. At a fission density between 3.0 and 4.5 x 10²¹ fiss/cm³, the superlattice bubbles appear to have reached a saturation size with additional fission gas associated with increasing burnup predominately accumulating along grain boundaries. At a fission density ofmore »« less
