;
Development of the sol-gel sphere-pac process for remote refabrication of highly-gamma-active fuels was assigned to ORNL. Activities at ORNL have been subdivided into seven work areas or subtasks: sol-gel sphere-pac fuel technology status and performance assessment, sol preparation, sphere forming, washing and drying, sintering, fuel rod loading, and fuel rod inspection. Progress in each subtask is reported.
