POST-IRRADIATION EVALUATION OF A PLATE-TYPE UO$sub 2$ FUEL ELEMENT

POST-IRRADIATION EVALUATION OF A PLATE-TYPE UO$sub 2$ FUEL ELEMENT [electronic resource]

The premature failure of fuel Element M22, which had six compartments of 0.100-in.-thick, 96% TD UO/sub 2/ + 6 wt% ZrO/sub 2/ fuel, was attributed to the large irradiation-induced solid volume swelling of the UO/sub 2/ fuels. This volume swelling was the result of incomplete homogenization during fa...
