Environmental Sem

AbstractExperimental results using environmental SEM on intentionally defected fuel particles showed that oxidation induced cracking could lead to the degradation of HTR coated particles. The interpretation proposed for the swelling resulting from cracking can be extended to irradiated nuclear fuels. That is why a new criterion was proposed to defined safe handling of defective fuel in dry storage condition. This criterion defines the time needed to create an oxidized layer thickness leading to significant cracking.

AbstractAluminum clad fuel and target elements represent approximately 10% of the DOE owned spent nuclear fuels. The uranium in a large fraction of these fuels is highly enriched and is present as uraniumaluminides which are distributed relatively uniformly within an Al-U alloy core. Emerging acceptance criteria are expected to limit the dry storage temperature for aluminum based fuels to approximately 200°C. The rock temperature near the center of a repository may exceed 200°C if the thermal loading approaches 110 kW/acre. This combination may force the placement of canisters containing aluminum based fuels near the repository periphery. The warm, moist environment anticipated at the periphery may provide aggressive conditions for corrosion of the canister and the highly enriched, aluminum based fuels. Peripheral locations may also be the most vulnerable to covert fuel removal operations. Possible consequences of mixing aluminum based fuels with other fuels in a repository are discussed in this paper.

Abstract Spent nuclear fuels and fuel debris stored underwater must eventually be prepared for dry storage (e.g., repository disposition). This preparation involves some degree of fuel drying. Primary considerations for a fuel drying process are the containment configuration of the spent fuel material and the type of fuel material (e.g., oxide, metal, hydride, alloy, carbide, epoxied, debris). The Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory has built and operated three heated vacuum drying systems and placed into interim dry storage all of these fuel types. The drying systems and process have been tested and modeled so that the extent of dryness can be predicted and used to plan and perform drying operations. This paper presents this drying method.
