X-ray tomography study on the crushing strength and irradiation behaviour of dedicated tristructural isotropic nuclear fuel particles at 1000 °C

Two types of dedicated Tristructural isotropic (TRISO) nuclear fuel particles, PyC-1 (Kernel/Buffer/PyC) and PyC-2 (Kernel/Buffer/SiC/PyC) from PYCASSO (Pyrocarbon irradiation for creep and swelling/shrinkage of objects) neutron irradiation experiments, were studied. For unirradiated particles, crus...
