Description/Abstract:
POST-IRRADIATION EXAMINATION OF FUEL ELEMENTS CANNED BY THE COLD-PRESSURE-WELD CLOSURE PROCESS INDICATES THE FEASIBILITY OF THE PRINCIPLES INVOLVED BUT POINTS OUT WEAKNESSES IN THE PROCESS. DEVELOPMENT OF TECHNIQUES TO CORRECT TEHSE WEAKNESSES WILL MAKE THE PROCESS PRACTICAL FOR PRODUCTION USE.
