The continued burnup of the Texas A and M TRIGA reactor produced a core that was becoming too large and producing lower fluxes. Since this was affecting important experimental programs it was obvious that some action must be taken. Several alternatives were considered including continuing with standard fuel. A second alternative would be to return to MTR fuel which would mean losing the important advantages of TRIGA fuel Since the cost of a total FLIP core was above the amount that was considered to be available, it was decided to investigate the possibilities of a mixed FLIP-standard core. A safety analysis is made for those characteristics that are significantly different from the standard core.
