Process improvement transition authorization IP-10-I, irradiation of alloyed dingot uranium fuel elements
Description:
The objective of this document is to authorize large-scale irradiations of alloyed, low hydrogen, dingot uranium fuel elements in order to evaluate their suitability as a reactor fuel. Although purer than standard ingot uranium, the dingot uranium produced in the past by Mallinckrodt Chemical Plant has demonstrated inferior dimensional stability during irradiation. This instability has been manifest as warp and as swelling at the center of the fuel elements. To reduce this instability 150 ppM i…
