ABSTRACT:
A neutron absorber element is composed of a metallic substrate bonded to a refractory coating containing gadolinium oxide. It has been found that these articles have excellent resistance to thermal shock, mechanical impact, abrasion, high temperature and water damage. These properties, in conjunction with its excellent nuclear properties, make these articles particularly well suited for use as neutron absorber elements in shipping containers for nuclear reactor fuel assemblies, and spent fuel storage racks.
