Abstract

The results of the post-irradiation investigations of fission products behaviour in HTGR fuel and its main elements such as kernels, protective coatings and matrix graphite are considered. The dominating role of SiC layer in the protective coating of coated particles in the retention of the volatile and solid fission products, being of great radiological importance, is noticed.
