Abstract:

This report, GEMP-1004, is the seventh annual report on the unclassified portion of the GE-NMPO Fuels and Materials Development Program conducted during calendar year 1967 under Contract No. AT40-1-2847. This report covers eleven unclassified jobs 1 properties of reactor materials from 1000 deg to 3000 deg C 2 radiation effects on the time-, temperature, and stress-dependent properties of fast breeder reactor FBR cladding and structural materials 3 fabrication of FBR advanced fuel element cladding 4 physical metallurgy of FBR cladding materials and refractory metals 5 development of advanced FBR fuel element cladding materials with improved performance capability 6 parameters affecting low-cycle fatigue behavior of heat-resistant alloys V applicability of high strength steels to nuclear reactor pressure vessels 8 behavior of Zircaloy-4-clad and Type 304 stainless steel-clad UO2 in meltdown environments 9 high-temperature thermocouple and electrical materials 10 physico-chemical stability and reactions between Fe-Cr-Al alloys and UO2 and 11 refractory carbides for fuel and structural applications.
