ABSTRACT

The out-pile examinations of atomized U-Mo dispersion fuels after reaction between U-Mo and the Al matrix at elevated temperature were carried out in order to investigate heat generation, reaction kinetics and thermal compatibility. The heat generation of the dispersion fuels during the thermal cycle from room temperature to 700oC was measured employing differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Growth rates of the reaction layer were fitted theoretically using spherical diffusion model. The effect of volume fraction and powdering method on the thermal compatibility of atomized U-Mo dispersion fuels was also examined.
