Irradiation swelling is a type of dimensional instability (in the form of volume expansion) that is encountered through the formation of voids/bubbles and fission

FUEL BURNUP (MWD/T)

not in gamma-uranium, while both phases can exhibit radiation swelling even though alloying may minimize the radiation swelling effect.
Figure 7.9 shows the volume change as a function of fuel burnup for a number ofuranium-based materials. This does show the effect of alloying in suppressing radiation swelling. Note that the adjusted uranium shown in the plot is known as the British Standard Fuel Produce (contains 400-1200ppm, 300-600ppmC, and small amounts ofMo, Nb, and Fe) and it shows better radiation swelling performance.
