Archive of AGR-5/6/7 Particle Radiographs for Identification of Particles with Defective IPyC

Research output: Book/ReportCommissioned report

Abstract

As a part of fuel quality control characterization, 2D radiographs of large numbers of particles produced by the Advanced Gas Reactor Fuel Development and Qualification (AGR) Program’s AGR-5/6/7 irradiation were acquired. These radiographs were used for the identification of particles with excessive uranium dispersion from the kernel into the surrounding buffer layer caused by chlorine infiltration through a defective inner pyrolytic carbon (IPyC) layer during silicon carbide (SiC) deposition. Additional features of interest associated with fabrication anomalies were also catalogued. Raw radiography images, along with the noted defective IPyC defects found by analysis at Oak Ridge National Laboratory are reported herein.
