A plutonium nitiride fuel pin containing inert matrix such as ZrN and TiN was encapsuled in 01F-51A and irradiated in JMTR. Minor actinides are surrogated by plutonium. Average linear powers and burnups were 408W/cm, 30000MWd/t(Zr+Pu)(132000MWd/t-Pu) for (Zr,Pu)N and 355W/cm, 38000MWd/t(Ti+Pu)(153000MWd/t-Pu) for (TiN,PuN). The irradiated capsule was transported to Reactor Fuel Examination Facility and subjected to non-destructive and destructive post irradiation examinations. Any failure was not observed in theirradiated fuel pin. Very low fission gas release rate of about 1.6% was measured. The inner surface of cladding tube did not show any signs of chemical interaction with fuel pellets.
