SAMPLING AND ANALYTICAL DATA ON Al-Pu ALLOY FOR PRTR START-UP TESTS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4012856
Analytical data on the PRTR fuel elements and other fuel elements fabricated by similar processes were gathered and analyzed. The mean melt analysis of the Al-Pu alloy for the PRTR start-up tests was 1.81 plus or minus 0.04 wt.% Pu. Within a single melt the average deviation of the analyses of rod samples from the melt inean analysis was 0.04 wt.% Pu, the standard deviation was 0.05 wt.% Pu. Based on data from fuel elements fabricated for irradiation tests by similar processes, the average deviation of analysis withini a rod was 0.07 wt.% Pu in a 3 wt.% Pu alloy and 0.02 wt.% Pu in a 0.5 wt.a alloy, the standard deviations were 0.08 and 0.03 wt.% Pu, respectively.
