Evaluation of irradiation behaviour of DUPIC pellets using the HANARO

Description

The irradiation test of DUPIC pellets in the HANARO was carried out to estimate their in-pile behaviour and performance. For the irradiation period of 2 months, the maximum linear power calculated from the operational data of the HANARO was 59.12 kW/m, and the estimated average burnup of DUPIC pellets was 1,770 MWd/tU. These irradiated mini-elements were transported to the PIEF so that the post irradiation examinations such as metallography and γ-scanning was performed. The qualitative irradiation behaviour of DUPIC pellets in the HANARO can be estimated from the burnup history and the results of post irradiation examinations
