EVALUATION OF ZIRCALOY-2 UNIFORM WALL AND FINNED TUBING FOR CVTR FUEL ELEMENT FABRICATION. SUBTASK 6.01: FUEL ELEMENT CLADDING AND METAL JOINING OF FUEL ASSEMBLIES. Terminal Report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4841369
Zircaloy tubing engineering results showed that uniform wall Zircaloy tubing should be procured for CVTR Core I rather than integral finned tubing. The recommendation was based on the fact that fabrication techniques were not developed for production of quality integral finned tubing in time for CVTR fuel element fabrication. Zircaloy-4 tubing containing approximately 15% cold work was recommended for CVTR fuel cladding. Data were obtained to establish Zircaloy tubing requirements to be used in specifying fuel cladding for the CVTR core. (auth)
