Abstract:A new heating and gas treatment line for Thermo-Desorption Spectrometry (TDS) of noble gases (He, Ne, Ar, Kr and Xe) is presented. It was built with the primary objective to offer advanced temperature controls and capabilities while working in a cold-environment. By choosing a high-power continuous wave laser as an heating source, and using a Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller system, noble gases TDS can now be performed with fast and highly steady heating ramps (e.g. less than 1°C deviation fro… Show more
“…The recent study of Horlait et al [26] describes a device that enables O 2 addition into the heating chamber (where the UO 2 pellet stands). The first results show that a slight increase of x in UO 2+x from a starting supposedly perfectly stoichiometric UO 2 could drastically change the diffusion coefficient of Kr (e.g.…”

“…Experimental data on fission gas migration rely on gas release measurements mainly in postirradiation annealing. Xenon and krypton thermal diffusion in UO 2 depends on (i) the stoichiometry [20], [23]- [26]: it increases with stoichiometry for >2.021 values and decreases when below 1.997 and (ii) the burn-up [27]- [29]: it decreases from 10 22 fission/m 3 to reach a saturated state at 10 24 fission/m 3 . The apparent decrease of the diffusion coefficient with the burn-up has been explained by a trapping effect [27].…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
