Abstract
Power-ramped UO 2 fuel released up to 14% fission gas, depending on power history; equivalent unramped fuel released less than 1%. Fuel in ramped elements showed grain growth, intergranular fission gas bubbles, grain-edge tunnels and grain boundary separation (microcracking). The significance of release during the post-transient temperature decrease should be examined further.
