EBR-II Environmental Instrumented Subassembly XX08 : Engineering and Assembly (open access)

EBR-II Environmental Instrumented Subassembly XX08 : Engineering and Assembly

Subassembly XX08 is a fueled and instrumented subassembly designed primarily for an ongoing program to investigate the thermal-hydraulic core environment within EBR-II under normal and off-normal plant operating conditions. XX08 contains 58-xenon-tagged, EBR-II Mark-II driver-fuel elements. The Mark-II fuel is expected to provide XX08 with an irradiation lifetime three times as great as that attained with its predecessor, XX07, i.e., a 9 versus 2.9% burnup. A burnup of 9 at.% is equivalent to about 29,000 MWt dyays of EBR-II reactor operation, which corresponds to 11 reactor runs at 2700 MWd per run.

Postirradiation Examinations of Fuel Pins from the GCFR F-1 Series of Mixed-Oxide Fuel Pins at 5. 5 at. % Burnup (open access)

Postirradiation Examinations of Fuel Pins from the GCFR F-1 Series of Mixed-Oxide Fuel Pins at 5. 5 at. % Burnup

Postirradiation examinations were performed on five fuel pins from the Gas-Cooled Fast-Breeder Reactor F-1 experiment irradiated in EBR-II to a peak burnup of approximately 5.5 at. %. These encapsulated fuel pins were irradiated at peak-power linear ratings from approximately 13 to 15 kW/ft and peak cladding inside diameter temperatures from approximately 625 to 760°C. The maximum diametral change that occurred during irradiation was 0.2% .delta.D/D₀. The maximum fuel-cladding chemical interaction depth was 2.6 mils in fuel pin G-1 and 1 mil or less in the other three pins examined destructively. Significant migration of the volatile fission products occurred axially to the fuel-blanket interfaces. The postirradiation examination data indicate that fuel melted at the inner surface of the annular fuel pellets in the two highest power rating fuel pins, but little axial movement of fuel occurred.
