Download or read book Failure Experience in Refractory Alloy clad Fuel Pins Applicable to Space Nuclear Power written by and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Numerous in-reactor tests were conducted in the 1960's and early 1970's to develop fuel elements for space nuclear reactors. Most of the tests emphasized refractory metal-clad UN, UC, and UO2. Previous reviews were provided by Weaver and Scott and by Gluyas and Watson. More recently, these data were reviewed for supporting information concerning the technical feasibility issues as they relate to the current reactor designs. This paper will focus on the fuel pin failure experience to obtain insight into design options which will lead to a fuel system with the greatest potential for success.

Book excerpt: This paper discusses objectives and basic design of two fuel-cladding tests being conducted in support of SP-100 technology development. Two of the current space nuclear power concepts use conventional pin type designs, where a coolant removes the heat from the core and transports it to an out-of-core energy conversion system. An extensive irradiation testing program was conducted in the 1950's and 1960's to develop fuel pins for space nuclear reactors. The program emphasized refractory metal clad uranium nitride (UN), uranium carbide (UC), uranium oxide (UO2), and metal matrix fuels (UCZr and BeO-UO2). Based on this earlier work, studies presented here show that UN and UO2 fuels in conjunction with several refractory metal cladding materials demonstrated high potential for meeting space reactor requirements and that UC could serve as an alternative but higher risk fuel.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sufficient data exist to provide a high level of confidence that refractory-alloy-clad ceramic fuel pins and refractory structural alloys can be used successfully in an operational space power system. However, data are not yet sufficient to ensure that these materials can meet the temperature, lifetime, and system mass envelope requirements for reliable operation of a 100 kW(e) system as specified by the SP-100 Project. Development efforts to provide these data are being initiated.
