Abstract
An important development program
for a UMo MTR fuel has been launched in France. The goal of the French working
group is to develop a high performing and reprocessable fuel before the end of
the US return policy. This paper is focussed on the fabrication of full-sized
UMo plates with LEU (Low Enriched Enrichment) and their irradiation in OSIRIS
reactor which was started on the 22nd of September. The results of
the plates inspection are presented here as well as the irradiation conditions.
