Article Synopsis
- Autoclave leaching experiments were performed on three types of mixed oxide fuel-rod segments with varying burnup levels to analyze the release of fission gases and long-lived fission products, as well as to evaluate corrosion over time.
- The segments were tested in two different solutions: a bicarbonate solution that mimics groundwater at neutral pH and a synthetic cement-like water at a higher pH of 13.5, all under a controlled reducing atmosphere.
- Initial results indicated that the release of fission products, specifically caesium and iodine, was influenced by both the composition of the leachate solutions and the burnup levels of the fuel.
