Swelling of Uranium and Uranium Alloys on Postirradiation Annealing

Abstract

Swelling of Unalloyed High-purity Uranium. Density measurements Microstructures before and after irradiation 13 Microstructures after annealing at temperatures up to 650°C in the alpha phase 13 Microstructures after annealing at temperatures between 650°C and 750°C in the beta phase Microstructures after annealing at teinperatures in the gamma phase. Sizes and distribution of pores Fission gas release Swelling of Uranium Alloys Density measurements Microstructures of uraniumi alloys before irradiation.. DISCUSSION OF RESULTS High-purity Uranium.
