FABRICATION MODIFICATION DEVELOPMENT FOR OMRE THIRD CORE LOADING

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4019824
A description is given of the fabrication of elements for the OMRE third core loading. The elements-were made by modification of the process developed for the first core loading, which resulted in decreased costs and increased yields. Thirty-eight fuel elements were produced, two of which were of nonstandard design. One contained special instrumentation to measure peak fuel surface temperatures, and the other contained instrumentation to measure flux distribution across and along the element. Fabrication development for the two special elements is described. (auth)
