A FULL PROGRAMME FOR A WORLD WIDE QUALIFIED UMo FUEL

摘要

An important development program for a UMo MTR fuel has been launched in France. The goal of the French working group is to develop a high performing and reprocessable fuel before the end of the US return policy for spent fuel. This paper is focussed on the fabrication of full-sized UMo plates with LEU (Low Enriched Enrichment) and their irradiation in OSIRIS reactor which was started in September 99.
