Abstract.

The formation of gas bubbles is a key issue for nuclear fuel behaviour. The first measurements of xenon during a depth profile in irradiated nuclear fuel evidenced some peaks over a non-zero baseline. In comparison with EPMA mappings of xenon and SEM image of the sputtered surface, it is proven that the peaks correspond to bubbles while the baseline corresponds to xenon included in the UO2 matrix.
