Swelling of safety rod guide tubes in nonuniform fields of temperature and irradiation

Safety rod guide tubes are important components of fast reactor cores for ensuring safe reactor operation. Their failure or considerable changes of their size may lead to safety rod wedging that is unacceptable. Two guide tubes, one each from BN-350 and BOR-60, were examined post-irradiation to dete...
