Irradiation of SFR metal fuel in HANARO and the results of post irradiation examination
- 1. SFR Fuel Development,KAERI, Daejeon (Korea, Republic of)
Description
Irradiation of the SFR metal fuel was carried out in HANARO. The objectives of HANARO test are 1) to evaluate the irradiation performance of metal fuel for SFR, 2) to examine the effects of Rare Earth, 3) and to identify the characteristics of the Cr barrier. A total of twelve fuel rodlets were fabricated for irradiation and the composition of the fuel slug is U-10%Zr-(Ce). In order to simulate the fast reactor condition, the thermal neutron was shielded by Hf. Cladding temperature was raised by introducing the He-filled gap between the cladding and the sealed tube. HANARO irradiation test was done from 2010.11.15 to 2012.01.05. It was calculated that the burnup of metal fuel was about 3at%. The post irradiation examination started from 2012.04.15. The gamma scans were carried out for the twelve rodlets. The measurement of fission gas release and the microstructure analysis are being carried out. (author)
