Description

Thermal expansion of nuclear fuel is an important parameter in determining the performance of pins during their irradiation because it affects fuel-clad mechanical interactions and fuel temperatures. Thermal expansion data of sintered UO2 are well reported in the literature. (U,Dy)O2 pellets can be used as burnable poison fuels for PWR reactor for the purpose of high burnup and extended cycle operation. This work deals with the results and analysis of measurement of room temperature lattice parameter and thermal expansion of (U,Dy)O2
