Cermet fuel

Design calculations for sphere-pac segments based on the idea of a CERMET fuel (CAPRA TRABANT)... [Pg.233]

Cermet fuel is one of the advanced concepts that has been considered in the case of thorium. It envisages kernels of uranium oxide coated with nickel and chromium dispersed in a matrix of thorium metal. A certain level of success has been achieved in coating uranium oxide micro spheres with nickel. [Pg.504]

Metal-ceramic (cermet) fuel chosen for the UNITHERM is composed of uranium dioxide particles in a metallic (silumin or zirconium) matrix. Such design is characterized by a high volume ratio of nuclear fuel and, through the use of the metallic matrix, ensures minimum swelling and high thermal conductivity. An optimally shaped cladding is formed when it is filled with the matrix composition. [Pg.167]

Cermet fuel (uranium dioxide in silumin matrix) ... [Pg.285]

The most important areas of further research and development (R D) are development and validation of fabrication technique for cermet fuel development of a long-life once-at-a-time refuelled core and validation of its safe and reliable operation over the whole fuel lifetime ... [Pg.286]

Compatibility with innovative fuel types is mentioned for the MARS. The use of low enrichment uranium based cermet fuel is considered for the RUTA-70. [Pg.30]

Justification and study of the possibility to use alternative fuel, e.g., cermets fuel KAMADO (Annex XIII)... [Pg.75]

As provided by the RTR concept, in the central (seed) part of the fuel assembly, the fuel elements based on shipboard reactor technologies are used. These include bimetallic (U-Zr) fuel elements or cermet fuel (UO2 in metal matrix). Fuel elements of the peripheral (blanket) zone are similar in design to those of the VVER-1000, with a pellet fuel based on the mixture of thorium dioxide ( 90%) and uranium dioxide ( 10%). [Pg.250]

The alternative fuel cycle option is a once-through cycle with cermet fuel (micro-particles of fuel in a metallic matrix). [Pg.388]

Advanced fuel Use of cermet fuel Under investigation... [Pg.394]

Cermet fuel elements offer most compact reactor configuration but fuel performance uncertainties are high... [Pg.19]
