REACTOR FUEL. Paper 5 of ATOMIC POWER SYMPOSIUM HELD AT CHALK RIVER, ONTARIO, MAY 4 AND 5, 1959

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4227491
Fuel element design for NRX and NRU are reviewed. Fabrication of the UO/ sub 2/ (Zircaloy-2 clad) elements and assemblies is discussed. Estimated fuel costs of the NPD are given based on the UO/sub 2/ cost, cost of Zircaloy2 tubing, and burnup. The fuel costs are promising and they are on a firmer base than the costs for some other components of the reactor. (W.D.M.)
