UO2 fuel behavior under RIA type tests
Description
This paper describes the test conducted to investigate the failure threshold of the fuel when subjected to RIA, accomplished in the TRIGA ACPR Nuclear Research Institute, Pitesti. The reactor facility, the capsule used in experiments and the experimental results are presented. The failure threshold was determined at 200 cal/g for an atmospheric gap pressure comparable with similar tests. (orig.)
