INFLUENCE OF THERMAL RATING AND BULK DENSITY ON IRRADIATION PERFORMANCE OF FUSED UO2 TUBES.
Mechanically compacted tubes of fused UO/sub 2/ with bulk densities between 82 and 90% of theoretical were irradiated in the Heavy Water Components Test Reactor to 3500 Mwd/ Tu at thermal ratings up to 50 watts/cm. Fission gas release up to 60% and extensive columnar grain growth occurred in element...
