Bush, B H

The current status of the NPR fuel fabrication and testing program has been reviewed; suggestions have been made concerning areas requiring more information. This report is divided into a series of sections, each of which is a complete entity so a specific problem area can be considered apart from the entire NPR Fuel process. The final section incorporating conclusions and recommendations reaffirms the factors of major importance as well as evaluating those areas which are interrelated. Process problems have been considered from the aspect of manufacturing, not engineering.
