摘要
UO2 irradiated at temperatures between 1000 and 2100 K was investigated with respect to fission gas behaviour and swelling. The amount of fission gas was measured in three steps as released fission gas, fission gas retained in bubbles and pores, and fission gas in the fuel matrix. The retained fission gas reaches concentrations up to 1.6 × 10-2 gas atoms per uranium atom at temperatures below 1250 K and decreases with increasing temperature. The swelling was evaluated by measuring the volume changes and by immersion density measurements. The maximum fission gas swelling without extensive bubble migration is about 20% at 2000 K. It diminishes to about 5% at 1250 K. © 1978.
