Fabrication of Metallic Fuel Slugs for Irradiation Experiments in Fast Breeder Test Reactor

  • 1. Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (India)

Description

Advantages of Metallic fuels for future FBR: → High heavy metal atom density; → Higher thermal conductivity at room temperature that increases with temperature; → Metal fuels can be relatively easily fabricated with close dimensional tolerances; → They have excellent compatibility with liquid metal coolants
