Manufacture of the fuel plates and fuel subassemblies for the Argonne low-power reactor
The Argonne Low Power Reactor, ALPR, is a light water-cooled and -moderated boiling reactor. It is rated at 3 Mw thermal output, a figure which is achieved by operating with a bulk coolant temperature of 216 deg C maximum at 300 psi gage. Fuel is highly enriched uranium in the form of an Al-17.5 wt.% U-2 wt.% Ni alloy. This material is clad on all sides with Al-1 wt.% Ni alloy, metallurgically bonded to the core material and to itself at all interfaces. Each of fifty-nine fuel assemblies contain nine fuel plates in an MTR array. (W.D.M.)
