Book excerpt: Nuclear Fuel Elements: Design, Fabrication and Performance is concerned with the design, fabrication, and performance of nuclear fuel elements, with emphasis on fast reactor fuel elements. Topics range from fuel types and the irradiation behavior of fuels to cladding and duct materials, fuel element design and modeling, fuel element performance testing and qualification, and the performance of water reactor fuels. Fast reactor fuel elements, research and test reactor fuel elements, and unconventional fuel elements are also covered. This volume consists of 12 chapters and begins with an overview of nuclear reactors and fuel elements, as well as fuel element design and development based on the reactor operator's approach, materials scientist's approach, and interdisciplinary approach. The reader is then introduced to different types of nuclear fuels and their irradiation behavior, considerations for using cladding and duct materials in fuel element design and development, and fuel element design and modeling. The chapters that follow focus on the testing of fuel element performance, experimental techniques and equipment for testing fuel element designs, and the performance of fuels for water reactors. Fuel elements for gas-cooled reactors, fast reactors, and research and test reactors are also described. The book concludes with an assessment of unconventional fuel elements. This book will be useful to fuel element technologists as well as materials scientists and engineers.

This book was released on 1959 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The manufacture of fuel blanks used in the fabrication of fuel elements for the Argonne Low Power Reactor is described. The thin, plate-type elements contain a wrought aluminum-base core alloy with a nominal composition of 17.5 wt.% enriched uranium, 2.0 wt.% nickel, and 0.5 wt.% iron, clad with an aluminum-- nickel alloy. The fuel elements were fabricated by a picture-frame technique, employing elemental silicon bonding and followed by hot and cold rolling to size. Development, casting, hot and cold rolling, cleaning, and punching of core blanks are discussed. A description of the nondestructive testing method and an evaluation of the manufacturing processes are given.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory has been active for the past twenty years in the development and testing of graphitic-based high temperature reactor fuel elements. The initial involvement was in the field of nuclear propulsion systems. Project Rover began as a program to develop a nuclear-powered, hydrogen-propelled rocket engine. The basic fuel element for the Rover Program became uranium-loaded graphite. The enriched uranium fuel was incorporated into the graphite matrix as uranium oxide, later as pyrolytic-carbon coated uranium dicarbide microspheres, and, most recently, as a solid solution of uranium carbide and zirconium carbide. The fuel element matrix was protected from the hydrogen propellant/coolant by a chemical vapor deposited coating of refractory carbides such as niobium carbide, zirconium carbide, and tantalum carbide. The performance of these fuel elements was established through actual tests up to a sustained power level of about 3000 MW. The Ultra High-Temperature Reactor Experiment, UHTREX, utilized uranium-loaded graphite fuel elements in a demonstration high-temperature process-heat nuclear reactor. This system operated at temperatures in excess of 1500°K using helium as the cooling medium. The performance of the graphitic fuel elements again proved excellent. Presently, the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory is developing fuel elements for possible use in the Argonne National Laboratory TREAT reactor. This report describes the nondestructive examination program for these experimental fuel elements.
