The objective of this production test is to evaluate the behavior of large diameter tubular UO{sub 2} fuel elements during high temperature irradiation. Eighteen inch long tubular UO{sub 2} fuel elements 1.804 inch OD, 0.544 inch ID, in 0.060 inch Zircaloy-2 jackets will be irradiated in the KER loops either alone or in conjunction with other tests to exposures up to 3500 MWD/T of contained uranium.
