Thermal diffusivity of simulated DUPIC fuel

Description

Thermal diffusivity of simulated DUPIC fuel was measured using Laser Flash Method in the temperautre range from room temperature to 1350 deg C. Density of simulated DUPIC fuel used in the measurement of thermal difusivity was 10.16 g/cm3 (94.2% of theoretical density) at room temperature and diameter and thickness were 10 mm and 1 mm, respectively. Thermal diffusivity decreased from 0.01857 cm2/s at room temperature to 0.00523 cm2/s at 1350 deg C. Thermal diffusivity of simulated DUPIC fuel and UO2 and simulated spent fuel. The difference of thermal diffusivity between simulated DUPIC fule and UO2 and simulated spent fuel was high and it decreased due to temperature increase
