The years 1983 and 1984 marked the completion of the power reactor extended-burnup demonstrations, several multinational Ramp programs, the prerelease version of the ESCORE fuel performance code, and the BWR channel extended-life program. Research results gathered under the overall program showed an improvement in core component reliability and an increase in nuclear fuel burnup.
