Nuclear fuel elements including protective structures, and related method of forming a nuclear fuel element
Abstract
A nuclear fuel element includes a core comprising a fissile element and an additional element. A protective structure surrounds the core and comprises at least a first material surrounding the nuclear fuel. The first material comprises the fissile element and the additional element and comprises a greater than stoichiometric amount of the additional element. An outer portion of the nuclear fuel element comprises a metal. Related nuclear fuel elements, and related methods are also disclosed.
