Report on the evaluation of the tritium producing burnable absorber rod lead test assembly. Revision 1

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/477674· OSTI ID:477674

This report describes the design and fabrication requirements for a tritium-producing burnable absorber rod lead test assembly and evaluates the safety issues associated with tritium-producing burnable absorber rod irradiation on the operation of a commercial light water reactor. The report provides an evaluation of the tritium-producing burnable absorber rod design and concludes that irradiation can be performed within U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission regulations applicable to a commercial pressurized light water reactor.
