Irradiation Stability of Uranium Alloys at High Exposures.

DE2001780119

Publication Date	2001
Personal Author	McDonell, W. R.
Page Count	6
Abstract	Postirradiation examinations were begun of a series of unrestrained dilute uranium alloy specimens irradiated to exposures up to 13,000 MWD/T in NaK-containing stainless steel capsules. This test, part of a program of development of uranium metal fuels for desalination and power reactors sponsored by the Division of Reactor Development and Technology, has the objective of defining the temperature and exposure limits of swelling resistance of the alloyed uranium. This paper discusses those test results.
