OSTI ID:5188181
Disassembly of irradiated fuel test assemblies at the Fast Flux Test Facility (FFTF) Interim Examination and Maintenance (IEM) Cell requires remote cutting of the test's duct. During the recent disassembly of an advance alloy fueled test assembly, unusual machining characteristics were experienced with the HT9 alloy duct. An intense development program involving extensive testing in-cell and on prototypic mockup equipment, was required to develop successful cutting parameters for this alloy.
