Abstract
A nuclear fuel rod for fast reactors includes a metallic fuel slug coated with a protective coating layer. In embodiments, a nuclear fuel rod for fast reactors includes a uranium and zirconium fuel slug having a single protective coating which is an oxide layer having a thickness in the range of 0.5 μm to 100 μm, and the protective coating layer may be configured to (i) prevent interdiffusion between the fuel slug and a cladding tube during fast reactor operation, and (ii) prevent a cladding tube from thinning during fission operation in a fast reactor.
