Abstract:
The blister annealing has been performed on UO
2 dispersed fuel plate under various tempera-ture conditions.The microstructure of UO
2 particles changing with the rise of temperature is studied by using the microscope.Fission gas releases at high temperature and the bubbles burst the coat to generate cracks and result in the local fracture and fall off of UO
2 particles.A lot of holes occur in the reaction layer outside of UO
2 coat because of the diffusion reaction intensified by the high temperature.
