Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) designed and fabricated 32 tritium-producing burnable absorber rods (TPBARs), which were irradiated in four lead test assemblies (LTAs) in the Watts Bar Nuclear (WBN) Plant operated by the Tennessee Valley Authority. This work was done for the Commercial Light Water Reactor (CLWR) Project of the Office of Defense Programs within the US Department of Energy. The TPBARs successfully completed their irradiation and are now being examined. Provided in this paper is a summary of the irradiation performance of the TPBARs.
