The nuclear security community has long been interested in the identification and quantification of material signatures to understand a material’s provenance, use, ultimate application. New forensics methods intended for non-traditional or advanced fuel applications require irradiation experiments demonstrate viability validity. Integral irradiations have historically required significant costs timelines design, irradiate, characterize. This paper describes how recently developed testbed can...
Abstract Surrogate tristructural‐isotropic (TRISO)‐coated fuel particles were oxidized in 0.2 kPa O 2 at 1200–1600°C to examine the behavior of SiC layer and understand mechanisms. The thickness microstructure resultant SiO layers analyzed using scanning electron microscopy, focused ion beam, transmission microscopy. majority surface comprised smooth, amorphous with a constant indicative passive oxidation. apparent activation energy for oxide growth was 188 ± 8 kJ/mol consistent across all...
