Bullington, D C

An in-pile loop test program is described for evaluation of stainless steel-clad UO/sub 2/ behavior in pressurized water at 600 deg F under irradiation. The corrosion behavior of Zircaloy-2, 304 stainless steel, and Ag-In-Cd control rod material was also tested in a similar environment. The hideout behavior of lithiated boric acid at Yankee operating conditions of temperature, heat transfer, and irradiation was also evaiuated. (J.R.D.)
