Description

The paper presents the results of the investigation on the structure and distribution pattern of the doping elements in uranium casting, produced by the centrifugal casting in a sealed zirconium mold. It is investigated the possibility of complex zirconium and iron doping of uranium. The values of the zirconium mold dissolution rate against the centrifugal casting time are provided. The mechanism is suggested for doping uranium with the elements included in the mold material during the fuel rod fabrication by the centrifugal casting
