[1D13] R&D on Nitride Fuel Cycle for MA Transmutation to Enhance Safety and Economy

Lattice and Bulk Expansion of Nitride Fuel Pellet Induced by Self-irradiation Damage

*Masahide Takano¹, Seiya Takaki¹ (1. JAEA)

Keywords:Minor actinide, Transmutation, Nitride fuel, Self-irradiation damage, Expansion

To identify the influence of defects and He atoms accumulation on the fuel behavior, changes in lattice parameter and dimensions of the (Pu,Cm,Zr)N nitride fuel pellet were measured at room temperature as a function of storage duration.
