Casting of U-Zr and U-Zr-Ce Fuel Slugs for SFR Fuel Irradiation in the HANARO |
초록 |
The irradiation test of U-Zr and U-Zr-Ce fuels in the HANARO has been planned to evaluate irradiation capsule integrity and to validate in-reactor barrier performance. The reduced fuel slugs of U-Zr and U-Zr-Ce fuels were melted and cast for the irradiation test of SFR fuel in the HANARO in 2010. The reduced metal fuel slugs were fabricated using low-enrichment uranium (LEU) with the gravity casting furnace under Ar atmosphere. The metal fuel slugs had the diameter of 4.2mm and the length of ranging from 100mm to 150mm. The casting soundness of the metallic fuel slugs were inspected with γ-ray radiography method. The alloy composition and the scanning electron micrographs of the metal fuel slugs were examined. U-10wt.%Zr fuel slug had some dispersion phases of Zr precipitates and Zr compounds, and U-10wt.%Zr-Ce fuel slug had lots of dispersion particles including Ce component. |
