Popis: A short resume is given of the results of investigations of the physico-mechanical properties of uranium and its alloys, based on reports given at the Second International Conference on the Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy, Geneva, 1958. The effect of irradiation on uranium and, in particular, the phenomenon of gas swelling are examined. Some examples are given of α-phase and γ-phase uranium alloys, including alloys of the fissium type. The temperature limits for the use of solid nuclear fuel based on uranium are considered. In conclusion, we give some information on the techniques for metallographic investigation of irradiated and unirradiated uranium.
