Description

In order to understand the extent of sodium infiltrated in porous fuel of fast reactor, simulation experiments were carried out using sodium compatible ceramic material (alumina) with high thermal conductivity, low porosity and high degree of wetting capability. Microstructural characterization of porous alumina specimens was carried out before and after sodium infiltration using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The concentration change in sodium as a function of sodium penetration into alumina was observed from the periphery to the centre region through EDX analysis. (author)
