The alternative low-enriched uranium (LEU) design for the; FRM-II proposed by the Reduced Enrichment Research and Test Reactor (RERTR) Program at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) has a compact core consisting of a single fuel element that uses LEU (<20%) silicide fuel with 4.5 g U/cm{sup 3} and operates at 32 MW. Both the high-enriched uranium (HEU) (93%) design by the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the LEU design have the same fuel lifetime (50 days) and the same neutron flux performance (8 X 10{sup 14} n/cm{sup 2}{center_dot}s in the reflector). Computer models for the HEU and LEU designs have been exchanged between TUM and ANL, and discrepancies have been resolved.
