Post-irradiation examination of a 13000C-HTR fuel experiment Project J 96.M3

Description

A large variety of loose coated fuel particles have been irradiated in the BR2 at Mol/Belgium at temperatures between 12000C and 14000C and up to a fast neutron fluence of 1.2x1022 cm-2 (E>0.1 MeV) as a Euratom sponsored experiment for the advanced testing of HTR fuel. The specimens have been provided by Belgonucleaire and the Dragon Project. A short description of the experiment as well as the results of post-irradiation examination mainly carried out at Petten (N.H.), The Netherlands, are presented here. The post-irradiation examination has shown that the required performance can be achieved by a number of the tested fuel specimens without serious damage
