  • 1. Inst. Atomnoj Ehnergii, Kurchatov (Kazakhstan)

Description

Radiation stability of fuel elements from (U, Zr)C+C and (U, Zr, Nb)C at irradiation in low flow ampoule reactor RA is studied. The examination was carried out under fuel elements operation conditions simulating the low power energy regime for reactor of two-regime nuclear moving power unit. It is established high rate of function capacity for work of the carbide fuel elements at given conditions of reactor testing with total duration more than 4,500 hours
