Ponomarev-Stepnoy, N.N.; Khroulev, A.A.; Momot, G.V.; Solenkov, V.F.; Koshelev, Yu.V.; Gurin, V.AAbstract
The ampoule and loop canal designs for irradiation of HTGR fuel elements and methods of investigation of their radiation stability are described. The results are presented on the measurement of fission product yield from fuel elements during irradiation. Irradiation main parameters are in agreement with HTGR operating conditions. The results of metallographic investigations of the micro fuel elements irradiated are given. The processes taking place in fuel elements and microfuel elements during irradiation are discussed.
