ABSTRACT
In order to
produce feedstock fuel powder for irradiation testing,
the Idaho National Laboratory has produced a rotating
electrode type atomizer to fabricate uranium-molybdenum
alloy fuel. Operating with the appropriate parameters,
this laboratory-scale atomizer produces fuel in the
desired size range for the RERTR dispersion experiments.
Analysis of the powder shows a homogenous, rapidly
solidified microstructure with fine equiaxed grains.
This powder has been used to produce irradiation
experiments to further test adjusted matrix U-Mo
dispersion fuel.
