[This figure] shows the design chosen for a CANDU fuel bundle. This bundle, used in all routine fuelling of CANDU reactors, is called CANLUB fuel.... The bundle... is mostly uranium dioxide(UO2), sheathed and held together by zircaloy. Zircaloy 4, the specific alloy used for this purpose, is 98% zirconium and 1. 7% tin. The UO2 is in the form of high-density pellets. Each fuel element is a thin zircaloy tube, the fuel sheath, filled with fuel pellets. A thin lubricating layer of graphite between the pellet and the sheath is what gives the fuel the proprietary name CANLUB. 1, record 22, English, - CANLUB%20fuel

Le zircaloy 4, l'alliage utilisé dans le combustible CANLUB, est composé de 98 % de zirconium et de 1,7 % d'étain. Le UO2 se présente sous la forme de pastilles très denses. Chaque crayon de combustible est formé d'un tube mince de zircaloy - la gaine de combustible - rempli de pastilles de combustible. Le nom de marque du combustible, CANLUB, provient de la mince couche lubrifiante de graphite entre la pastille et la gaine. 1, record 22, French, - combustible%20CANLUB
