摘要
The oxygen potential ΔG(O2) of fast breeder mixed oxide fuel (U0.8Pu0.2)O1.98 irradiated to different burn-ups up to 11 at% has been determined between 900 and 1300 K by measurements of the electromotive force in a galvanic microcell. The oxygen potential increases continuously with burn-up, due to the oxidative nature of fission and due to fission products dissolved in the fuel matrix. Lattice parameter measurements of similar fuel indicate that the fuel with the initial O/M ratio of 1.98 is still substoichiometric even at 7% burn-up. If the lattice parameter measurements are accepted, the increase in ΔG(O2) due to fission products is larger than assumed so far.
