FABRICATION AND QUALITY CONTROL METHODS FOR ARMY PACKAGE POWER REACTOR FUEL ELEMENTS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4328757
Production procedures are formulated which specify appropriate quality control techniques to assure the adequacy of the elements so produced. A step-by- step description of the fabrication process formulated is presented. The problems involved and the solutions obtained are described in some detail. This process was confirmed up to the final braze-assembly operation. Sufficient investigation of assembly procedures was accomplished to permit the definition of the best currently available assembly technique. Recommendations are made for development work required to improve the specified processes. (auth)
