Journal of Nuclear Materials, 320(1-2), p.126 - 132, 2003/07
Times Cited Count:10 Percentile:55.56(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)Two irradiation tests on the rock-like oxide (ROX) fuels, small disk-shape fuel targets and pellet-type fuels, were performed in order to clarify in-pile irradiation stabilities. Swelling, fractional fission gas release (FGR) and phase change were examined by puncture test, profilometry and ceramography. YSZ single-phase fuel showed an excellent irradiation behavior, ie. low fission gas release (less than 3%), negligible swelling and no appreciable restructuring. The particle dispersed fuels showed lower swelling and higher fission gas release than those of mechanically blended fuels. Spinel decomposition and subsequence restructuring in the spinel matrix fuels was observed for the first time in the present investigation. It would be possible to reduce the FGR of the spinel matrix fuels, if the maximum fuels temperature is limited below 1700 K where neither spinel decomposition nor restructuring was observed. Damaged area of spinel matrix due to fission fragment irradiation seemed to be confined to thin layers around the surface of YSZ particles.

Times Cited Count:3 Percentile:22.77(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)The oxygen potentials of two type urania-yttria solid solutions, one is the solid solution expressed as nearly UY
O
and the other is nearly stoichiometric solid solution, are investigated by use of a mass spectrometer combined with a Knudsen cell. The oxygen potentials for the nearly stoichiometric specimens are much higher than those for pure urania with similar stoichiometry. On the other hand, the oxygen potentials for fully reduced specimens almost agree with those for pure urania having the same oxygen deficiencis.

Times Cited Count:26 Percentile:81.73(Nuclear Science & Technology)Research on the plutonium rock-like oxide (ROX) fuels and their once-through burning in light water reactors has been performed to establish an option for utilizing and disposing effectively the excess plutonium. The ROX fuel is a sort of the inert matrix fuels and consists of mineral-like compounds such as yttria stabilized zirconia, spinel and corundum. A particle-dispersed fuel was devised to reduce damage by heavy fission fragments. Some preliminary results on swelling, fractional gas release and microstructure change for five ROX fuels were obtained from the irradiation test and successive post-irradiation examinations. Inherent disadvantages of the Pu-ROX fuel cores could be improved by adding 238U or 232Th as resonant materials, and all improved cores showed a nearly the same characteristics as the conventional UO2 core during transient conditions. The threshold enthalpy of the ROX fuel rod failure was found to be comparable to the fresh UO2 rod by pulse-irradiation tests simulating reactivity initiated accident conditions.
