Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Single phase, solid solution, UC-PuC powder was synthesized reproducibly from a mixture of the oxides and carbon. A simple method of monitoring the reaction was developed. UC-PuC-0.1 wt% Ni pellets of 93% theoretical density were made reproducibly, with some samples as high as 95% of theoretical denstty. The pellets contain minor amounts of (U, Pu)2C3 most of the time. Efforts to make reproducible 95%, single-phase material are under way. Microprobe analysis of UC-0.1 wt% Ni specimens was completed. A second phase apparently promoted by the nickel was shown to be probably U2C3. Essentially all the nickel was found in solution in the matrix UC. The postirradiation examination of the UC specimens completed to date showed that the UC pellets had the same appearance after irradiation as before irradiation. Their dimensional changes were very slight (1.4% volume increase). Fission gas release was low and within the sensitivity of the initial measurement (3.5% max). The average specimen burnup was 18,500 MW-d/tonne at an average maximum fuel temperature of 760 deg C (1400 deg F). The plutonium facilities continued satisfactory operation at zero contamination level. (auth).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents state-of-the art information on the effects of nuclear radiation on ceramic reactor fuel materials that are being used or being considered for use in various types of reactors. The materials discussed include uranium oxides, uranium carbides, uranium mononitride, uranium silicides, plutonium oxide, and plutonium carbide. The report presents data in the form of tables and curves for physical damage incurred by the fuel materials as a result of their exposure to nuclear radiation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fuel Fabrication and Evaluation. Nearly stoichiometric, low nitrogen- content UC was synthesized in the plutonium glove box atmosphere. PuC and PuC- UC preparation studies were initiated by the oxide-carbon reaction. UC with nickel additions lowered required sintering temperatures, improved density over control straight UC samples, but did not improve densities over those obtained previously with UC. Microprobe analysis of niobium and 21/4 Cr- 1 Mo compatibility samples tested 4,000 hr at 820 deg C, showed no uranium penetration. Irradiation Test. The W1-1 capsule containing two clad UC specimens continued operation to 11,000 MW-d/ton by the end of April. The W1-2 capsule was inserted in WTR, but had to be removed after a short time because of a radioactive gas leak. Plutonium Facilities. The facility at The Carborundum Company started operation with plutonium in March. Modifications and maintenance continue to be required and are being completed with minimum effect on experimental work schedules. The major modifications of the facility at NDA, the once-through nitrogen and helium systems, were completed and initial operation is satisfactory. A performance test was initiated prior to operations with plutonium. Design and construction of equipment for the furnace box are in progress. (auth).
