Abstract

Irradiation with heavy ions from an accelerator source is an increasingly often used tool to quickly reproduce and simulate certain effects of in-pile irradiation tests, avoiding the complexity and high costs of handling highly radioactive samples. At the Maier-Leibnitz Laboratorium (MLL) of the Technische Universitat Munchen (TUM), swift heavy ions have been applied in the development of Uranium-Molybdenum (UMo) based research reactor fuels for more than 10 years. Since then, the technique has been advanced from feasibility over qualitative analysis to quantitative prediction, including fission gas implantation.
