MANUFACTURING METHODS FOR THE EXPERIMENTAL BREEDER REACTOR MARK I AND MARK II FUEL LOADINGS
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4226841
ABS>The EBR-II fuel cycle, the reactor core subassembly, and fuel element are described. The proposed methods for manunfacturing the U/sup 235/ fueled Mark I loading and the U-Pu fueled Mark II loadings are described in some detail. The initial loadings will be made using a simulated equilibrium fissium alloy. These will be manufactured by non-remote methods but using the same operational sequences as the recycle material. The recycle loadings will be pyrometallurgically processed, refabnicated, and reassembled by remote control in a special facility under construction adjacent to the reactor. A brief description of this plant and the remote control process is given (auth)
