Specifications were prepared for stationary fuel elements for PM-2A Core Il. Stainless steel-base fuel compcnents of thin plate-type construction and containing a dispersion of UO/sub 2/ were successfully used in the Army Reactor (SM-1). The component consisted of eighteen composite fuel plates joined by brazing, and was designed for radioactive service in pressurized water. Fabrication qualification tests and specifications covering loading, materials, and processing are presented. Also included are applicable drawings and the process flow diagram. (M.C.G.)
