Title: Clarification of technical requirements with respect to fuel assembly seals and evidencing their compliance in the Kahl Demonstration Experiment

Conference · · J. Nucl. Mater. Manage.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5482966

The fuel assembly seal demonstration experiment performed at the Kahl Experimental Power Station (Versuchsatomkraftwerk Kahl, VAK) is a task within the IAEA support program of the Federal Republic of Germany which serves to fit and test seal systems in LWR fuel assemblies in order to contribute to the experiment of such systems and to collect experience with their application under normal operating conditons. In the demonstration experiment seal applications, seal identifications and integrity checks were demonstrated successfully, including all relevant handling procedures. Inspections confirmed proper attachment of all seals to the fuel assemblies until October 1984.
