ABSTRACT:
The opposite ends of a fuel cladding are sealed with end plugs. A plurality of UO.sub.2 pellets are charged into the fuel cladding. Defined in the lower portion of the fuel cladding is a gas plenum which houses fission products therein. Charged in the plenum defined in the nuclear fuel element is a material (such as boron carbide which absorbs neutrons and produces helium.
