Abstract

A review of the thermochemical and thermo-physical properties of phases that can form following the chemical interaction between sodium coolant and irradiated (U,Pu)O2 fuel in a Sodium-cooled Fast Reactor is reported in the present chapter. This critical assessment is directed towards the assessment of a particular type of accidental scenario, namely that of a cladding failure and subsequent sodium ingress into the irradiated fuel pin, and focusses on the aspects of the (U,Pu,Np,Am)O2 fuel-sodium and fission products-sodium interactions........
