摘要: Abstract Seven plutonium containing inert matrix fuel (IMF) capsules were prepared for an irradiation experiment in the high flux reactor. In experiment, named once-through-then-out, both spinel-based and zirconia-based targets are irradiated up to a burnup of about 200 GW d m−3, corresponding Pu depletion 50–60%. Both micro macrodispersed spinel tested, zirconia homogeneous type. this paper, fabrication routes IMF pellets described detail. The results dimensional measurements, density ceramographies X-ray images samples given. Some preliminary included.
