Development of fast reactor fuels for Indian nuclear power programme
- 1. Nuclear Fuels Group, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai (India)
Description
Indian fast reactor programme was initiated in the 70's. Since then various fuel options have been explored namely Uranium Plutonium mixed carbide, Uranium Plutonium mixed oxide (PuO2: 21%, 28% and 44%) and metallic fuels based on binary U-Pu and ternary U-PuZr alloys. These fuels were developed indigenously after extensive R and D work on various issues of these fuels. The paper highlights these issues and describes the fabrication processes and some of the important properties. (author)
