Irradiated uranium-aluminide fuel plates of 40% 235U enrichment were heated for the determination of the amounts of fission products released at temperatures up to and higher than the melting point of the fuel cladding material. The release of fission products from the fuel plate at temperatures below 500°C was negligible. Three stages of fission product release were observed. The first rapid release was observed at ∼561°C along with blistering of the plates. The next release, which occurred at 585°C, might have been caused by melting of the Type 6061 aluminum alloy. The last release of fission product gases occurred at 650°C, which probably corresponds to the eutectic temperature of the uranium-aluminum alloy. The released material was mostly xenon, and small amounts of iodine and cesium were observed.
