Grain subdivision and structural modifications by high-energy heavy ions in UO2 with different initial grain size

F. Cappia et al.

Summary: Irradiation with 84 MeV Xe ions at high fluence was performed on two UO2 samples with different initial grain sizes. The results showed that the bubble size in the large-grained sample was smaller than that in the standard-grain sample, indicating better resistance to fission gas precipitation. Additionally, the irradiation caused the formation of a large density of dislocations, leading to grain polygonization in the standard-grain sample.

Structure of the pellet-cladding interaction layer of a high-burnup Zr-Nb-O nuclear fuel cladding

Xiang Liu et al.

Summary: Investigation into the structure of the pellet/cladding-interaction (PCI) layer of high-burnup nuclear fuel with niobium bearing cladding using modern transmission electron microscopy techniques revealed a complex microstructure consisting of three distinct zirconia layers, including crack-free monoclinic and tetragonal phases, as well as a tetragonal layer containing cracks and pores adjacent to the fuel. Formation of the monoclinic layer suggested gaseous diffusion of oxygen below the threshold dose of fission product damage prior to fuel/cladding contact. High-resolution TEM also identified a compound phase of (U,Zr)O-2 at the fringes of zirconia fingers on the fuel side.

A Critical Review of High Burnup Fuel Fragmentation, Relocation, and Dispersal under Loss-Of-Coolant Accident Conditions

Nathan Capps et al.

Summary: High burnup fuel has been observed to severely fragment under temperature transient conditions, potentially leading to fuel relocation and dispersal in a loss-of-coolant accident scenario. While various testing programs have identified phenomena and governing parameters, there remains a significant data gap in connecting research to commercial application. Further research is needed to fill data gaps and enhance understanding of fuel behavior under severe conditions.
