Description

Release behaviors of Cs137, Cs134, Sb125, Ce144, Ru106 and Agsup(110m) during irradiation from the high-density UO2 kernel of Triso-coated fuel particle were studied. The intact coated fuel particles were carefully cracked after irradiation; the amounts of fission products remaining in the UO2 and their partition between the UO2 and the coating were measured by gamma-ray spectrometry. The results are discussed in view of the high-temperature chemistry of the fission products within the coated fuel particles. (orig.)
