PLUTONIUM FUEL RODS FOR PREPARATION OF TRANSPLUTONIC ELEMENTS
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4785645
Production by coextrusion of metallurgically bonded, Alclad, Al-7.35 wt% Pu alloy fuel rods with integral ends is discussed. The rods had a diameter of 0.94 in., length of, 60 in., and a nominal cladding thickness of 0.070 in. The Pu concentration was maintained at 83.3 g/rod. The coextrusion billets can be assembled with fuel cores in the as-cast condition. The casting hot-tops can be returned to the process stream. The process is useful for preparing transplutonic elements and production of high-exposure Pu. (J.R.D.)
