Fuels and materials for LMFBR's
Description
This paper reviews development of fuels and materials for the Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactor. Included are the status of fuels and materials technology for the LMFBR core components. Design characteristics of FFTF fuel pins and control rods are presented. Sizes of various LMFBR fuel assemblies are compared. The Clinch River Breeder Reactor fuel assembly is nearly identical to that of FFTF except for an increased length to accommodate UO2 axial blankets within the fuel pins. The DP-1 design is for a large breeder reactor and uses larger ducts and more fuel pins per assembly. By comparison, the fuel assemblies for EBR-II, are much smaller, as is the EBR-II core
