Status report on the irradiation testing of four low-enriched fuel elements (U3Si2-Al and UdSi1.6-A1) by the Netherlands Energy Research Foundation (ECN)
Description
Within the framework of the RERTR-programme four low-enriched MTR-type fuel elements are being irradiated in the High Flux Reactor (HFR) of the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission (JRC) at Petten, The Netherlands. Two of the elements contain U3Si2-Al and two contain U3Si1.6-Al as fuel matrix. The elements will be irradiated up to 75% burn-up. Three of the elements have reached a burnup of 55% to 60% without any appreciable problem. Due to mechanical damage on the outer fuel plate one element (LB02) was temporarely withdrawn from the test irradiations after having reached a burn-up of 20%. The target burn-up of 75% for the remaining three elements will be reached at the end of 1990
