Oxygen potential of a prototypic Mo-cermet fuel containing plutonium oxide

Miwa, Shuhei  ; Osaka, Masahiko  ; Nozaki, Takahiro*; Arima, Tatsumi*; Idemitsu, Kazuya*

Oxygen potential of a prototypic Mo-cermet fuel containing PuO$$_{2-x}$$ was experimentally determined. It was shown that the oxygen potentials of Mo-cermet fuel containing PuO$$_{2-x}$$ were the same as those of pure PuO$$_{2-x}$$. It was also confirmed that the gradual oxidation of the Mo matrix occurred only above the oxygen potential of Mo/MoO$$_{2}$$. It is concluded that the oxidation-reduction behavior of the Mo-cermet fuel can be evaluated individually for each phase of actinides oxide and Mo matrix. Better phase structures of the Mo-cermet fuel for taking full advantage of the oxidation-reduction controllability were suggested by the confinement of the actinides oxide phase with Mo.
