Characterization of low-gas-release LWR fuels by transmission electron microscopy

Creators

  • 1. Pacific Northwest Lab., Richland, WA (USA)

Description

The authors describe analytical transmission electron microscopy (AEM) performed on light-water reactor (LWR) spent fuel samples from different radial locations in several low-gas release fuels. The examinations revealed high densities of submicrometer gas and solid aggregates. Precipitate coarsening and a change in the nature of the fission gas precipitates was observed near the centers of the fuel pellets
