The objective of this supplement to PT-IP-376-D, Irradiation of MGCR-HDR-3 Test Element is to authorize 1000 hours of operation at a maximum test specimen surface temperature of 1700 F. The original production test authorized a test duration of four months at a maximum specimen surface temperature of 1500 F; supplement A authorized extension of the test duration to ten months. The desired increase in surface temperature is requested to demonstrate the general feasibility of operation of the fuel element at 1700 F, and to obtain specific information on the performance of Hastelloy-X cladding and fuel bodies. The increased temperature has been approved by the Atomic Energy Commission.
