Description/Abstract:
MAKES A PRELIMINARY ESTIMATE OF LOSSES IN REACTIVITY AND CONVERSION RATIO TO BE EXPECTED WITH THE WAFER SLUG (SOLID, VARYING THICKNESS OF AL, ZR AND NI WAFERS, OLD PILE LATTICE). METHODS SUGGESTED FOR RECOVERING THESE LOSSES ARE (1) INCREASE OF SLUG DIAMETER AT EXPENSE OF AL CAN WALL THICKNESS, AND (2) USE OF SPIKE ENRICHMENT.
