TERMINAL REPORT ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF TECHNIQUES FOR FABRICATING HIGH TEMPERATURE FUEL AND CLADDING MATERIAL FOR APPLICATION IN ADVANCED NUCLEAR REACTOR CONCEPTS

摘要

The work to be evaluated here is divided into three phases:nⅠ. Development of a reliable welding and joining process for Be and Y tube and end-plug closures for application as fuel element cladding.nⅡ. Development of an induction melting technique for casting UN and UN-UC fuel shapes.nⅢ. Development of an arc melting and casting technique for fabricating composition of mixed carbides such as UC-ZrC into fuel shapes.
