Summary
Irradiation tests of aluminum-lithium co-producer target elements are planned for charging in the N-reactor. Although the target elements are subjected to extensive non-destructive testing to assure that defective pieces are not charged, it is necessary to have some knowledge of the failure characteristics of the targets under reactor conditions. To study the possible behavior of in-reactor failures, a series of defected test elements were tested in the high temperature, pressurized TF-9 facility located at 100 KE. The test objectives were: to follow the progress of the failures of target elements with several types of intentional defects, and to run the tests until, on several of the elements, the failure and corrosion had progressed essentially to a point of total destruction of the core. This report describes the intentionally defected elements used in the test and the progressive results of subjecting these defected elements to high temperature water.
