FABRICATION OF SUPERHEATER FUEL ROD ASSEMBLIES FOR BONUS CRITICAL EXPERIMENTS
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4805317
The BONUS critical fuel rods incorporate an enriched UO/sup 2/ fuel pellet stack encased in a stainless steel tubular sheath and sealed at both ends by a solid plug welded to the cladding tube. The techniques and procedures involved in the fabrication of the components are outlined. Inspection procedures are described. Of the 900 fuel rods started in production 888 were shipped as acceptable components. The rejected components contained the same defect: a leak in the tube wall located several inches above the bottom plug weld. (M.C.G.)
