Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4353555
Work was continued toward the development of satisfactory stainless steel clad UO/sub 2/ fuel elements. Specific information is given on the preparation of UO/sub 2/ pellets, fuel rod end-closure, and fuel bundle assembly. Results are given from studies of the corrosion of various brazing alloys by water and the effects of annealing on the tensile properties of stainless steel. Additionai studies and calculations on core design optimization and kinetic and steady-state reactor analysis are given. An in-pile loop design for studying radiation effects is included.
