Description

In order to evaluate the cladding temperature of the FBR fuel pin during irradiation, micro-hardness measurement was conducted on the fuel cladding irradiated in 'Joyo' MK-II core. In this report, the results of micro-hardness measurement and micro-structure observation on irradiated fuel cladding were described, and the applicability of these results to temperature estimation was analyzed. The analysis showed that the irradiation temperature of the FBR fuel cladding can be estimated by the micro-hardness measurement as an useful and practical method. (author)
