IFA-429 data report No. 1. [PWR fuel element irradiation in Halden and PBF reactors]
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:7125554
The first of a series of data reports is presented that will present test data from the EG and G Idaho-Halden experiment IFA-429. IFA-429 is an 18-rod test assembly designed to study fission gas release and fill gas sorption in prepressurized (2.58 MPa, He) PWR type fuel rods. The report presents assembly power history and individual fuel rod power, temperature, pressure, and burnup data for the Halden irradiation period beginning in June 1975 and ending in February 1976. During this period the accumulated assembly average burnup reached approximately 5,000 MWd/t(U). Fuel rod heat ratings reported cover a range from 17 to 30 kW/m with measured fuel center temperatures of 1,100 to 1,200/sup 0/C in the higher power rods. Measured fuel rod pressures show no appreciable change during the period covered. In addition to the experiment data, the report includes a complete description of the IFA-429 experiment, the instrumentation used, the EG and G Idaho data storage and reduction programs, and the pretest characterization of the fuel rods.
