Radiation effects in fuel materials for fission reactors

Creators

  • 1. Commission of the European Communities, Karlsruhe (Germany, F.R.). European Inst. for Transuranium Elements

Description

Physical and chemical changes that occur in fuel materials during fission are described. Emphasis is placed on the fuels used today, or those foreseen for the future, hence oxides and carbides of uranium and plutonium. Examples are given to illustrate the most interesting neutron effects. (author)
