Fabrication of enriched hot die sized diffusion bonded fuel elements for Production Test IP-616-A
Hot die sizing (HDS) is a process being investigated to replace the existing AlSi brazing process. Hot die sizing consists of sizing a nickel-plated core and aluminum can assembly with cold dies to produce a diffusion bonded aluminum clad fuel element. Upon completion of fabrication of the first natural uranium hot die sized fuel elements for production test IP-546-A, the next step in evaluation of the process was to assemble enriched fuel for further irradiation testing. This report summarizes the fabrication of 0.947% U-235 enriched fuel elements for ``Production Test IP-616-A.``
