Fabrication of hot die size diffusion bonded fuel elements for Production Test IP-546-A
Hot die sizing (HDS) is a process being considered at Hanford to replace or supplement the existing AlSi brazing process. Hot die sizing consists of passing a preheated core-component fuel assembly through a cold the to bond the aluminum jacket to the core while passing a die plug through the internal bore to form the internal bond. Fuel end bonding is accomplished in a following step by applying heat and pressure to the sized fuel element. This report summarizes the fabrication of fuel elements for irradiation testing of hot die sized fuel elements as authorized by ``Production Test IP-546-A, Irradiation of Hot Die Size Diffusion Bonded Fuel Elements,`` HW-75465.
