The Application of a Nominal 48 WT % U-Al Alloy to Plate-type Aluminum Research Reactor Fuel Elements
Description:
Under the Atoms-For-Peace Plan, the specification that uranium be limited to 20% enrichment in the U/sup 236/ isotope has necessitated development of a highly-concentrated uranium--aluminum alloy as the fuel material in the composite aluminum plates of research reactor fuel elements. Efforts have been directed to determining the suitability of a nominal 48 wt.% U--Al alloy in relation to previously established procedures for manufacturing platetype aluminum fuel elements. Increasing the uranium…
