This report presents state-of-the art information on the effects of nuclear radiation on ceramic reactor fuel materials that are being used or being considered for use in various types of reactors. The materials discussed include uranium oxides, uranium carbides, uranium mononitride, uranium silicides, plutonium oxide, and plutonium carbide. The report presents data in the form of tables and curves for physical damage incurred by the fuel materials as a result of their exposure to nuclear radiation.

Interim results are presented on the alpha-decay damage study of a 238Pu-loaded ceramic waste form (CWF). The waste form was developed to immobilize fission products and transuranic species accumulated from the electrometallurgical treatment of spent nuclear fuel. To evaluate the effects of [alpha]-decay damage on the waste form the 238Pu-loaded material was analyzed by (1) x-ray diffraction (XRD), (2) microstructure characterization by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) with energy and wavelength dispersive spectroscopy (EDS/WDS) and electron diffraction, (3) bulk density measurements and (4) waste form durability, performed by the product consistency test (PCT). While the predominate phase of plutonium in the CWF, PuO2, shows the expected unit cell expansion due to [alpha]-decay damage, currently no significant change has occurred to the macro- or microstructure of the material. The major phase of the waste form is sodalite and contains very little Pu, although the exact amount is unknown. Interestingly, measurement of the sodalite phase unit cell is also showing very slight expansion; again, presumably from [alpha]-decay damage.

This volume focuses on recent developments and advances of ceramics and ceramic matrix composites for use in fission and fusion reactors, nuclear fuels and alternative energy applications. With the continued increasing demands for energy, nuclear energy has experienced a renewed interest. Recent developments associated with advanced fuel cycles have resulted in new research efforts on nuclear fuel materials. The effects of radiation on the properties of ceramics and ceramic matrix composites are also addressed.

This report presents information on the effects of nuclear radiation on ceramic coated-particle fuel materials. The particles discussed include UC2, UO2, UN, (Th, U)C2, and (Th, U)O2 spheres coated with pyrolytic carbon, Al2O3, or BeO. The report presents data in the form of tables, curves, and photomicrographs for physical damage incurred by the coated particles as a result of their exposure to nuclear radiation. The report also presents data on the postirradiation release of fission products from coated fuel particles. (Author).
