Conference Article: In-pile tests of HTGR fuel particles and fuel elements
Chernikov, A.S.; Kolesov, V.S.; Deryugin, A.I. (I.V. Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy, Moscow (Russian Federation))Abstract
Main types of in-pile tests for specimen tightness control at the initial step, research of fuel particle radiation stability and also study of fission product release from fuel elements during irradiation are described in this paper. Schemes and main characteristics of devices used for these tests are also given. Principal results of fission gas product release measurements satisfying HTGR demands are illustrated on the example of fuel elements, manufactured by powder metallurgy methods and having TRISO fuel particles on high temperature pyrocarbon and silicon carbide base.
