Results are presented of a trial application of the draft structural design criteria for highly irradiated core components to a typical blanket assembly duct. The activity focuses on the evaluation of the criteria using a typical breeder reactor blanket assembly as a test case. Design rules from the draft criteria are applied to the component to determine: (a) difficulties that may arise in interpretation and application of the criteria, and (b) adequacy of the criteria rules and analysis methods to address various potential failure mechanisms expected in the reactor core during service. Based on the trial application, recommendations are made to promote further development of the criteria. 13 refs.
