Recent Development in Tem Characterization of Irradiated Rertr Fuels
The recent development on TEM work of irradiated RERTR fuels includes characterization of the irradiated U-10Mo/Alloy-6061 monolithic fuel plate, the RERTR7 U-7Mo/Al-2Si and U-7Mo/Al-5Si dispersion fuel plates. It is the first time that a TEM sample of an irradiated nuclear fuel was prepared using the focused-ion-beam (FIB) liftout technical at the Idaho National Laboratory. Multiple FIB TEM sa...
متن کاملDetermination of the origin of unknown irradiated nuclear fuel.
An isotopic fingerprinting method is presented to determine the origin of unknown nuclear material with forensic importance. Spent nuclear fuel of known origin has been considered as the 'unknown' nuclear material in order to demonstrate the method and verify its prediction capabilities. The method compares, using factor analysis, the measured U, Pu isotopic compositions of the 'unknown' materi...
متن کاملMicrostructural Evolution, Thermodynamics, and Kinetics of Mo-Tm2O3 Powder Mixtures during Ball Milling
The microstructural evolution, thermodynamics, and kinetics of Mo (21 wt %) Tm₂O₃ powder mixtures during ball milling were investigated using X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. Ball milling induced Tm₂O₃ to be decomposed and then dissolved into Mo crystal. After 96 h of ball milling, Tm₂O₃ was dissolved completely and the supersaturated nanocrystalline solid solution of Mo ...
متن کاملMonolithic Fuel and High-Flux Reactor Conversion
Monolithic fuels are the most promising candidate for a next generation of high-density research reactor fuels. If successfully developed, the remaining HEU-fueled reactors in the world could presumably be converted to low-enriched fuel — and the use of highly enriched uranium in the civilian nuclear fuel cycle eventually terminated. The most challenging type of reactors to convert are single e...
متن کاملMicrostructural Evolution in OrthotropicElastic Media
We consider the problem of microstructural evolution in binary alloys in two dimensions. The microstructure consists of arbitrarily shaped precipitates embedded in a matrix. Both the precipitates and the matrix are taken to be elastically anisotropic, with different elastic constants. The interfacial energy at the precipitate– matrix interfaces is also taken to be anisotropic. This is an extens...
