Title: Status of materials development in support of PWAR-20

Abstract

Declassified 31 Aug 1973. The PWAR-20 reactor and shield are being developed for the SNAP-50/SPUR power plant (300-kW(e), 10,000 h). Clad UC and UN were irradiated; swelling and gas release were measured. Nb-1 Zr, D-43, and T- 111 were also evaluated. (DLC)
