Abstract:To evaluate the irradiation behavior of the rock-like oxide fuel, irradiation experiments were carried out. Three fuels were prepared; a single phase fuel of yttria-stabilized zirconia containing UO 2 (U-YSZ) and two types of particledispersed fuels of U-YSZ particles in spinel or corundum matrix. U-YSZ particle sizes were about 100 -200 µm. These fuels were irradiated in Japan Research Reactor No.3 for about 280 days. The burnups were about 11% FIMA. The fission gas release rate (FGR) was determined by punctu… Show more
