The international Phebus Fission Product (FP) programme, initiated in 1988 and performed
by the French Institut de Radioprotection et de Sûreté Nucléaire (IRSN), investigates key …

The low temperature matrix swelling of UO2 fuels was analysed as a function of burn-up,
taking into account changes in the fuel density, porosity and retained Xe concentration as …

The complex equilibria in irradiated water-cooled nuclear fuel are discussed.
Thermochemical calculations have been performed to predict the chemical state of the …

This review describes the chemical aspects of the release of the important fission products.
Their behaviour in the fuel, in the reactor coolant system (primary system), and during core …

Observations on low-temperature swelling of irradiated uranium silicide dispersion fuels
have shown that the growth of fission-gas bubbles is strongly affected by fission rate. The …

This document provides a description of a model of the radionuclide behavior in the reactor
coolant system (RCS) of a light water reactor during a severe accident. This document …

Bias-driven growth of voids is identified as a major swelling mechanism in the α-uranium
phase of irradiated U-Pu-Zr metal fuels being developed at Argonne National Laboratory for …

This paper describes the first VERDON test performed at the end of September 2011 with
special emphasis on the behaviour of fission products (FP) and actinides during the …

The evolution of fission gas bubbles in irradiated materials plays a critical role in the
microstructural processes that leads to dimensional changes of U-Mo alloy fuels, eg, fuel …

The ternary cesium molybdates Cs 2 Mo 2 O 7, Cs 2 Mo 3 O 10, Cs 2 Mo 5 O 16 and Cs 2
Mo 7 O 22 have been synthesized in this work using a solid state route and their structures …
