Abstract
A compilation was prepared to aid design engineers in the selection of potential fuels for advanced hightemperature reactors. Available data are included on critical properties for all fuels believed to be potentially capable of operating at surface temperatures of at least 650 deg C. Fuels of recent interest with this capability are included even though sufficient data for their final evaluation are not yet available. The compilation is broken down into sections devoted to particular types of fuels. Property data for all these materials are arranged in a standardized format designed for rapid consultation. In addition to these data sheets, a master table that permits comparison of all fuels covered in the compilation on the basis of four properties considered essential in an initial fuel evaluation is presented. Also, a compilation of appropriate conversion units has been included for the design engineer's convenience. (J.R.D.)
