Fabrication of hot die sized Diffusion Bonded Fuel Elements for Supplement ``A`` to Production Test IP-546-A
Production Test IP-546-A. consisting of 20 charges for the purpose of irradiating the first hot die sized fuel elements was charged in C-Reactor July 27, 1963. A second tests PT-IP-616-A containing a total of 19 charges had been charged on two separate outages; 13 land 6 tubes on September 28, 1963 and October 30, 1963, respectively. Fabrication of test quantities was becoming more routine and additional irradiation tests were planned. This report summarizes the fabrication of hot die sized fuel elements originally intended for Production Test IP-630-A, but changed to ``Supplement ``A`` to Production Test IP-546-A, Irradiation of Diffusion Bonded Fuel Elements,`` HW-75465 E. The production test was changed due to unexpected growth behavior of hot die sized fuel during irradiation.
