| Abstract: | Presented are the irradiation results on two uranium-silica systems: a uranium oxide Vycor-brand glass system and a 10% uranium oxide glass prepared by melting. The glasses were irradiated up to 15% depletion of the uranium at temperatures up to the softening points with no appreciable loss of fission-product gases. Included is an outline of a procedure for impregnating leached, unfired Vycor-brand glass with uranium. |
