Title: Experimentally Known Properties of U-10Zr Alloys: A Critical Review

Abstract

More than 14000 U-10Zr fuel rods (alloys of U with 10 wt% Zr) Zr were been irradiated in the Experimental Breeder Reactor II and Fast Flux Test Facility, with some irradiated to burnups of almost 20 at%. However, very little information about properties of un-irradiated U-10Zr alloys is available. This data is needed to help with interpretation of data from irradiated materials, develop and validate phase diagrams and models of U-Zr and more complex systems, develop and validate fuel-performance codes, design fuels for future fast reactors, and design future experimental investigations to fill in crucial gaps in knowledge. This paper provides a summary and critical review of the available experimental data on phases and phase diagrams, electrical properties, thermal expansion, thermal conductivity, heat capacity, mechanical properties, vapor pressures, and thermodynamic properties of un-irradiated U-10Zr alloys. As a result, much of this data was published before ~1970 and is available only in obscure reports.

A Critical Review of the Experimentally Known Properties of U-Pu-Zr Alloys. Part 1: Phases and Phase Diagrams

Journal Article Janney, Dawn E. ; Hayes, Steven L. ; Adkins, Cynthia A. - Nuclear Technology

Each U-Pu-Zr metallic fuel pin contains multiple phases, whose properties and distributions evolve due to factors such as fission, nuclear transmutation, and elemental redistribution under the influence of chemical and thermal gradients. An understanding of experimental data about phases, phase relationships, and phase properties in the U-Pu-Zr system is needed to enable mechanistic modeling of these phenomena and guide future research. Although U-Pu-Zr alloys have been investigated for more than 60 years, relatively little reliable experimental information is available. Information about the technologically important alloy U-20Pu-10Zr (where numbers indicate weight percentages of Pu and Zr and the remainder is U)more »« less

The advanced characterization, post-irradiation examination, and materials informatics for the development of ultra high-burnup annular U-10Zr metallic fuel

Journal Article Yao, Tiankai ; Bachhav, Mukesh ; Di Lemma, Fidelma G. ; ... - Frontiers in Nuclear Engineering

U-Zr metallic fuel is a promising fuel candidate for Gen Ⅳ fast spectrum reactors. Previous experimental irradiation campaigns showed that the sodium thermal bonded U-10Zr fuel design can achieve a burnup of 10% fissions per initial heavy metal atom (FIMA). Advanced metallic fuel designs are pushing the burnup limit to 20% or even 30% FIMA. To achieve the higher burnup and eliminate the pyrophoric sodium, a prototypical annular fuel has been designed, fabricated, clad with HT-9 in the Materials and Fuels Complex, and irradiated in the Advanced Test Reactors of Idaho National Laboratory (INL) to a peak burnup of 3.3%more »« less

A Critical Review of the Experimentally Known Properties of U-Pu-Zr Alloys. Part 2: Thermal and Mechanical Properties

Journal Article Janney, Dawn E. ; Hayes, Steven L. ; Adkins, Cynthia A. - Nuclear Technology

Although U-Pu-Zr alloys have been investigated for more than 60 years, relatively little experimental information is available, and many of the original values are in government reports that appeared more than 40 years ago. Information about the technologically important alloy U-20Pu-10Zr (wt%) is even more limited. U-Pu-Zr alloys are difficult materials to study experimentally, and it is therefore important to understand what results have already been obtained, how reliable they are, and where they were reported. This paper provides a summary and critical assessment of the available experimental measurements of thermal and mechanical properties of U-Pu-Zr alloys. Knowledge of thesemore »« less

Transmission Electron Microscopy based Characterization of a U-20Pu-10Zr Fuel Irradiated in Experimental Breeder Reactor-II

Journal Article Yao, Tiankai ; Liu, Xiang ; Robert Meyer, Nolan Mitchell ; ... - Journal of Nuclear Materials

U-Pu-Zr metallic fuels are important fuel candidate for future advanced and/or test reactors. To better understand fuel performance and guide future fuel development, a U-20Pu-10Zr (in weight) metallic fuel irradiated in the Experimental Breeder Reactor was revisited using advanced electron microscopies. This fuel was irradiated to a burnup of 7.6 % at a peak cladding temperature of 521 °C. In this research, several transmission electron microscopy samples were extracted from different but representative radial locations of the fuel cross section using focused ion beam technique. Phase identification and chemical analysis with sub-micron spatial resolution was carried out using scanning transmissionmore »« less

Transmission electron microscopy study of a high burnup U-10Zr metallic fuel

Journal Article Salvato, Daniele ; Liu, Xiang ; Murray, Daniel J. ; ... - Journal of Nuclear Materials

To support the development of U-10 wt.% Zr (U-10Zr) metallic fuel for Gen IV sodium-cooled fast reactors, we analysed a solid, Na-bonded, U-10Zr (by weight percent) fuel cross section that was irradiated to a burnup of ~ 12.4 % at.% at the Fast Flux Test Facility (FFTF). Advanced characterization techniques, including site specific sample preparation by focused ion beam (FIB) and phase/chemical determination by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), were used to reveal the constituent redistribution of Zr, characterize the fuel phases and the secondary phases (such as solid fission products) present at the end of life. It is shown thatmore »« less
