OSTI ID:4065011
Construction of the Heavy Water Components Test Reactor (HWCTR) is 47% complete. The forecast start-up date is November 1961. Fabrication of two Zircaloy pressure tubes for the HWCTR bayonets was completed. The first irradiation test of a thin-walled thbe of uranium metal was concluded. Preliminary postirradiation examination of six Zircaloy-clad tubes of compacted uranium oxide revealed cladding defects in four of the specimens. The tubes had been fabricated by a combination of sonic vibratory compaction and cold-swaging. (For preceding period see DP565.) (auth)
