Radiometallurgical examination of PT-IP-221-A measurement of flow channel temperature in 7 rod cluster fuel element (RM-287)
Eight Zircaloy-2 jacketed, natural uranium seven-rod cluster elements were irradiated in a KER loop to determine flow channel temperature characteristics. One of the elements, which had 200 MWD/T exposure, was sent to the Radiometallurgy Laboratory for examination in April 1959. An outside rod of the cluster was sectioned and examined metallographically. No cracks or flaws were observed in the uranium cladding or bonding.
