SPECIFICATIONS FOR SWAGED UO$sub 2$ 19-ROD CLUSTER, PRTR FUEL ELEMENT MARK I
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4189674
The first UO/sub 2/ fuel loading for the Plutonium Recycle Test Reactor consists of Zircaloy-2 clad, swaged, 19-rod cluster fuel elements. These fuel elements are unique in that they represent the first large-scale demonstration of the use of a combination of (1) non-sintered, swaged fuel in a high temperature reactor and (2) non-segmented, long fuel reds employing unbonded wire wrap spacing members to control cluster geometry. During the fabrication of these fuel elements. specifications governing several aspects of the process were developed. Specifications which are di-rectly applicable to the current PRTR design cart be extended to include similar rod cluster designs. (auth)
