PROCESS DEVELOPMENT AND FABRICATION OF Th-7.6 WT % U FUEL ELEMENTS FOR THE SECOND CORE LOADING OF THE SODIUM REACTOR EXPERIMENT

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4148924
The second core loading for the Sodium Reactor Experiment (SRE), consisting of 45 seven-rcd fuel clusters, was fabricated. A process was developed to fabricate 0.750-in. diameter by 6.000-in. long slugs of Th--7.6 wt.% U alloy. The NaK bending of slugs to stainless-steel cladding was successfully accomplished. (auth)
