Abstract

In summary, two complementary techniques were used to characterize phases formed as a result of interdiffusion between U-Pu-Zr metal fuel and cladding and fission gas bubbles produced in U-Mo fuel upon irradiation. Understanding in-reactor degradation behavior of these materials is critical to advancing nuclear energy technology.
