Irradiation performance of metallic driver fuel in Experimental Breeder Reactor II to high burnup

The Experimental Breeder Reactor II Mark-II metallic-driver-fuel element has been irradiated to high burnup to assess element lifetime and performance reliability. The purpose of this paper is to describe the irradiation performance of the Mark-II fuel element to 10 at.% burnup. Fission gas behavior, fuel deformation, fuel-cladding chemical interaction, fuel-cladding mechanical interaction, and cladding dilation are examined for their effect on Mark-II behavior. 27 refs.
