Summary

The report critically reviews the available information pertinent to the potential use of U-Pu-Zr alloy fuels clad with stainless steel in LMFBR's. The areas considered include breeding potential, burnup potential, thermal performance, fuel fabricability, fuel reprocessing, and safety considerations. Because information on U-Pu-Zr alloys is limited, wide use is made of experience with EBR-II metallic driver fuel to infer advantages and limitations of U-Pu-Zr fuels. It is concluded that sufficient potential exists for the applicability of U-Pu-Zr fuels to LMFBR's to warrant additional analytical and experimental studies.
