This study investigates the interface structure characteristics of pyrocarbon and silicon carbide in TRISO fuel, proposing a method for characterizing this interface. High-fidelity images collected using FIB-SEM tomography can provide a more in-depth interpretation of microstructural parameters and pore-shape analysis.
Tristructural-isotropic (TRISO) fuel is being considered for multiple reactor designs due to its exceptional performance. This work studies pyrocarbon (PyC) and silicon carbide (SiC) substrates that are near-representative of the inner pyrocarbon (IPyC) and SiC in TRISO fuel. Focused ion beam (FIB)-scanning electron microscopy (SEM) tomography was used to understand the influence of different processing routes on the PyC/SiC interface structure. Additionally, this work outlines a methodology for characterizing the IPyC/SiC interface when considering fission product accommodation and retention in TRISO fuel design. The high-fidelity images collected with FIB-SEM tomography can be used to achieve a more in-depth interpretation of microstructural parameters and pore-shape analysis that can inform simulations and processing.
