Density of U-10wt%Zr Materials

Year: 2017

Type: report

Abstract: There is very little information published concerning the density of U-Zr alloys (uranium-rich). The following information presents a portion of what has been published, as well as additional information recorded by Argonne National Laboratory-West while casting U-10Zr fuel for use in the Experimental Breeder Reactor-II. The fuel was injection-cast into ZrO2-coated quartz molds, quenching the molten fuel alloy very quickly. The fuel was produced to specifications in which mass/weight, diameter, and length of the fuel slugs were all controlled. Density was not controlled.
