Description/Abstract:
FUEL ELEMENTS OF PU ENRICHED NATURAL UO2 VIBRATION COMPACTED IN ZRY-2 TUBES WERE IRRADIATED IN A WATER COOLED LOOP IN THE MTR REFLECTOR TO AN INTEGRATED EXPOSURE OF 1.6 X 1020 NVT. FABRICATION, IRRADIATION, AND POST IRRADN EXAMINATION OF THE ELEMENTS ARE DESCRIBED. RESULTS ARE COMPARED WITH THOSE FOR U-235 ENRICHED UO2
