AbstractAbstract
[en] Addition of B4C burnable poison results in higher plate swelling in both U3Si2 and U3Si-Al dispersion fuel plates and also decreases the blister threshold temperature of these plates. Prolonged annealing of U3Si2-Al fuel plates produced no blister after 696 hours at 400 degrees C. Blister formation started between 257 hours and 327 hours at 425 degrees C and between 115 hours and 210 hours at 450 degrees C. Operation with breached cladding resulted in pillowing of an U3Si-Al fuel plate due to reaction of the fuel core with coolant water. 4 refs., 10 figs., 2 tabs
