Production test IP-262-A-11-FP, evaluation of projection fuel elements for use in ribbed process tubes: Demonstration loadings
The objective of this test is to demonstrate the feasibility of projection fuel elements for use In existing process tubing and to determine the reduction in rupture rates or hot-spot incidence so achieved. This test is to authorize, (a) charging 20 columns of bumper type fuel elements and 20 columns of control elements per reactor into B, D, DR, F, and R Reactors for irradiation up to 1200 MWD/T exposure, and (b) irradiation of four columns each of enriched (0.947%) bumper and enriched (0.947%) normal type fuel elements until two ruptures are sustained in each (or until one group shows a significant improvement).
