Title: Test of an LWR fuel assembly sealing system in a demonstration experiment at the Kahl Experimental Nuclear Power Station

Abstract

Twelve Exxon Nuclear fuel assemblies presently in the Kahl Boiling Water Reactor core are sealed with FAID ultrasonic seals. The sealing system in this demonstration experiment is designed to meet safeguards, reactor safety, and fuel handling requirements. Results of these ongoing experiments are presented. 3 references, 1 figure.
