Investigation of fission product gas formation in TRISO Th/U coated fuel particles
Background: Fission product gas accumulation in Tri-structural iso-tropic (TRISO) coated fuel particles can cause the failure of TRISO fuel elements. Purpose: The aim is to study the fission product gases (xenon and krypton) accumulation in UO2 and ThO2 coated particles with respect to various neutron spectra and neutron flux. Methods: Calculations were conducted using ORIGEN code with the neutron databases of THERMAL.LIB
BWRU.LIB
CANDUSEU.LIB and PWRU.LIB as input. Results: It was found that
with the same neutron spectrum
neutron flux and running time
the production of xenon is about 7 times of that of krypton in the UO2 coated particles
and about 4.5 times in the ThO2 coated particles. For the ThO2 coated particles
both xenon and krypton reach saturation earlier when the neutron spectrum are softer
and the saturation values are smaller compared with those in the harder spectrum environment. Conclusion: Taking the fission product gas accumulation as the main factor of TRISO coated particles
the calculation implies that the ThO2 coated particles can have a longer lifetime than the UO2 coated particles under the same neutron environment.Cited
