Summary:
This report discusses the irradiation testing of thick-walled single-tube, 1.6% enriched test elements (KSE-5`s) in KER loops 1 and 2 to evaluate swelling behavior of uranium at high temperatures. Test charge K-2-21 consisted of four KSE-5`s containing uranium with 400 ppm iron and 800 ppm aluminum. The object of the test irradiation was to establish the swelling performance of the fuel containing the iron-aluminum additions using the N-fuel composition as a reference fuel. This latter fuel has shown good high temperature performance in the British high-temperature gas-cooled reactors, but has not previously been evaluated at ``high`` specific powers in a high-temperature pressurized-water reactor environment.
