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

Transmission electron microscopy investigation of irradiated U-7 wt% Mo dispersion fuel

Conference Berghe, S van den ; Renterghem, W van ; Leenaers, A

The microstructural evolution of atomised U-7wt%Mo alloy fuel under irradiation was investigated with transmission electron microscopy on material from the experimental fuel plates used in the FUTURE irradiation. The unsatisfactory irradiation behaviour of this atomised U(Mo) alloy dispersion fuel during this experiment was derived to be related to the properties of the interaction layer formed between the U(Mo) particles and the Al matrix. It is assumed to become amorphous under irradiation and as such cannot retain the fission gas in stable bubbles. As a consequence, gas filled voids are generated between the interaction layer and the matrix, causing the fuelmore »« less
Transmission Electron Microscopy Characterization of Irradiated U-7Mo/Al-2Si Dispersion Fuel

Journal Article Gan, J ; Keiser, Jr, D D ; Wachs, D M ; ... - Journal of Nuclear Materials

The plate-type dispersion fuels, with the atomized U(Mo) fuel particles dispersed in the Al or Al alloy matrix, are being developed for use in research and test reactors worldwide. It is found that the irradiation performance of a plate-type dispersion fuel depends on the radiation stability of the various phases in a fuel plate. Transmission electron microscopy was performed on a sample (peak fuel mid-plane temperature approximately 109 degrees C and fission density approximately 4.5 x 10 27 fm-3) taken from an irradiated U–7Mo dispersion fuel plate with Al–2Si alloy matrix to investigate the role of Si addition in themore »« less

Microstructure characterization of as-fabricated and 475 Degrees C annealed U–7 wt.% Mo dispersion fuel in Al–Si alloy matrix

Journal Article Yao, Bo ; Perez, Emmanuel ; Keiser, Jr, Dennis D ; ... - Journal of Alloys and Compounds

High-density uranium (U) alloys with an increased concentration of U are being examined for the development of research and test reactors with low enriched metallic fuels. The U-Mo fuel alloy dispersed in Al-Si alloy has attracted particular interest for this application. This paper reports our detailed characterization results of as-fabricated and annealed (475 Degrees C for 4 h) U-Mo dispersion fuels in Al-Si matrix with a Si concentration of 2 and 5 wt.%, named as As2Si, As5Si, An2Si, An5Si accordingly. Techniques employed for the characterization include scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy with specimen prepared by focused ion beammore »« less
