Description/Abstract:
SLUGS WERE PLACED ADJACENT TO A CONTROL ROD BANK AND A CONTROL ROD WAS PERIODICALLY INSERTED AND WITHDRAWN. ON THE BASIS OF THE EXPOSURES WHIC THESE PIECES RECEIVED AND THE NUMBER OF CYCLES TO WHICH THEY WERE SUBJECTED, IT IS CONCLUDED THAT THE EFFECT OF THIS TYPE OF THERMAL CYCLING IN PRODUCING U CLEAVAGE FAILURES IS NEGLIGIBLE.
