Fabrication of Dispersed Uranium Fuel Elements Using Powder-Metallurgy Techniques

Description: Fabrication techniques for producing dispersion fuel elements with cores of 30 volume per cent of UC, U/sub 2/Ti, U/sub 3/Si, or U/sub 6/Ni dispersed in Zircaloy 2 and 30 volume per cent of UC or UN dispersed in Type 18-8 stainless steel have been investigated. Roll-clad plate-type elements of all these compositions may be fabricated by powdermetallurgy methods in such a manner that good core-tocladding bonds and cores with uniform dispersions of discrete uranium- compound particles are obtaine… more

DEVELOPMENT AND PROPERTIES OF URANIUM-BASE ALLOYS CORROSION RESISTANT IN HIGH TEMPERATURE WATER. PART IV. RADIATION STABILITY OF URANIUM-BASE ALLOYS

Description: The effects of pile irradiations on the physical properties and corrosion resistance of U-- Mo, U-- Nb; and U--Si alloys are reported. The dimensional stability under irradiation of the gamma phase U-- Mo and U-- Nb alloys is excellent; however, an isotropic volume increase of 4 to 6% per wt.% burnup may limit the ultimate fuel element life. Corrosion resistance of the gamma-phase alloys appesrs to be improved when subjected to s neutron field; this is attributed to an irrsdiation induced stabi… more

RATE OF GROWTH OF DIFFUSION LAYERS IN U-Al AND U-AlSi COUPLES

Description: The rates of growth of diffusion layers between U and Al and between U and AlSi alloy (eutectic composition) were studied and compared over the temperature range 250 to 55O deg C. Metallographic observation shows that the U-- Al reaction layers form three to five times as fast as the U-- AlSi layers over this temperature range. Sixty per cent of the layer growth takes place in the Al or AlSi alloy and 40% in U. (auth)
