- Idaho National Laboratory
The Advanced Reactor Technologies (ART) Baseline Graphite Characterization program at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) is performing a comprehensive evaluation of inter-billet variations in as-produced nuclear-grade graphite. Before graphite test specimens are machined, the full-size billets must be pre-sectioned into sub-blocks that can be more easily handled and shipped. As manufactured, NBG-17 billets are rectangular in shape, nearly 6 feet in length, and may exceed 1,500 pounds in weight. Sectioning of these billets must be accomplished via a supplier that is capable of handling and cutting the billets into individual slabs and quartering these slabs into sub-blocks. Billets will be pre-labeled by the Purchaser prior to leaving controlled storage such that traceability of any individual sub-block is never lost during sectioning operations.
