Remote depressurization and resealing of GCFR F-5 fuel pins

OSTI ID:5515875
The F-5 experiment is the irradiation in EBR-II of a prototypic unvented grid-spaced bundle of Gas Cooled Fast Reactor (GCFR) fuel elements. Remote depressurization and resealing of the irradiated fuel pins after interim examination was required for reconstitution of the elements for subsequent irradiation. After initial irradiation in EBR-II, fourteen of the F-5 experimental fuel pins were shipped to the Hanford Engineering Development Laboratory's (HEDL) Postirradiation Testing Laboratory at Richland, Washington, for performance of depressurization and resealing operations. The task demonstrated the ability to remotely sample fission gas and re-tag gas fuel pins at any interim time during the irradiation cycle.
