Fabrication of Uranium Alloy Fuel Elements for OMRE Fourth Core
- North American Aviation, Inc., Canoga Park, CA (United States). Atomics International Div.
The fuel elements for the fourth core loading of the Organic Moderated Reactor Experiment (OMRE) consist of nickel-plated U--Mo alloy fuel, isostatically bonded to Type 1100 alumninum cladding. The fuel elements are flat-plate elements, with 18 fuel plates per element. Thirty-four Core IV fuel elements were fabricated. Twenty standard driver elements and five instrumented driver elements were made of U-3.8 Mo-0.2 Al. Three test elements each of U-3.8 Mo-0.2 Al, U-7.5 Mo, and U-10 Mo, for a total of nine test elements, were also made. All fabrication techniques used in this program were in accordance with nuclear safety criteria.
