Effects of Annealing under High Static Pressure on Precipitation Behavior of Fission Gas Bubbles in Irradiated UO2

概要

Annealing experiments were carried out on irradiated UO2 in argon gas under high pressure (600 and 1, 000 kg/cm2) as well as atmospheric, at temperatures of 1, 400°1, 600°. The effects of high external pressure on the behavior of fission gas bubbles in the irradiated UO2 were studied by comparing replica electron micrographs of fractured surfaces of specimens annealed under different temperatures and pressures. The results indicate that high pressures such as above 600 kg/cm2 can be effective in surpressing the growth of fission gas bubbles in both intergranular and intragranular zones, and in inhibiting the joining together of intergranular bubbles to form direct passages for fission gas release.
