Description

Flow stress, work hardening, stress relaxation, fracture stress, and creep properties of advanced fuels such as (U,Pu)C, carbonitrides, and (U,Pu)N are required to understand their in-pile performance. Besides providing a survey on the deformation properties of these fuels, a second purpose of this paper is to give some initial information on deformation mechanisms in the brittle-ductile range for these plutonium-bearing ceramics of NaCl-type structure. 25 refs
