FUEL BEARING FIBERGLAS IN ALUMINUM BASE FUEL ELEMENTS. Monthly Progress Letter No. 10 for March 1, 1960 to March 31, 1960

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4157831
In development of aluminum-coated fuel-bearing fiberglas core material twelve compacts were hot pressed during the report period. Techniques which affect core edges received particular attention. Four uranium-bearing fiberglas compacts were clad rolled during March. Some improvement over previously rolled core section was evidert; however, further wo.rk is required to produce plates which meet specifications. Tensile specimens taken transverse to the rolling direction were tested at room temperature, 250, 400, 600, and 800 deg F. The majority of the unclad transverse specimens displayed a greater strength at all temperatures than the specimens taken longitudinally to the rolling direction. (For preceding period see ORO-278.)
