Abstract

To investigate the performance of AlMg2 cladding in the U3Si2/Al dispersion fuel, oxide layer characterization of AlMg2 cladding of the irradiated U3Si2/Al fuel with 4.8 gU/cm3 density was conducted. The oxide layer on the surface of AlMg2 cladding is one of the changes that occur on the cladding after theU3Si2/Al fuel plate has been irradiated in the RSG-GAS reactor to a burn-up of ∼40%. The characterization and observation of the oxide layer was conducted using SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) and Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Samples with a size of 3x3 mm were taken from the middle of the fuel plate (middle position). After cutting, metallographic preparation includes mounting, grinding, polishing, and ultrasonic cleaning. SEM preparation was carried out by sputter coating using Au layer. The oxide layer on the AlMg2 cladding has a thickness of 10.3 μm with a uniformly distributed cracks along the oxide layer.

Abstract

Uranium-silicide compound fuel dispersed in aluminium matrix (U3Si2-Al) have been used in a large number of research reactors around the world because of its excellent behavior under irradiation. This fuel also provides high uranium density with typical fuel loading up to 4.8 gU/cm3 to compensate for the reduced fissile amount in LEU. To improve the density of current U3Si2-Al (2.96 gU/cm3) used in Indonesian GA Siwabessy Multipurpose Research Reactor, U3Si2-Al dispersion fuel plate with density of 4.8 gU/cm3 (U235 ∼19.75%) had been irradiated in RSG GAS for 175 days at 15 MW power to burnup level of approximately 40%. The characterization was performed using SEM-EDS and optical microscope to study microstructure of the irradiatted fuel, largely the fission gas bubbles and the interaction layer between U3Si2 fuel and Al matrix. The average diameter of the bubbles with diameter from 0.06 to 0.55 μm was 0.21 μm. The interaction layer was identified as U(Al,Si)2,3 with thickness of approximately 1.5 μm. The relatively small fission gas bubbles and the interaction layer didn’t cause swelling on the fuel and the overall performance of the fuel plate was very good.
