- Summary:
- This report discusses Production Test 105-516-A which was written to determine the stability by both measurement and visual examination, of thorium slugs as used in flattening columns to exposures in excess of 400 MWD/AT. Both rolled and extruded thorium slugs were used; the highest exposures reached were about 1000 MWD/AT. Also discussed is Production Test 105-551-A which was written to demonstrate the stability of thorium slugs as used in flattening columns at exposures up to approximately 1500 MWD/AT; the supplement authorized exposures up to 3000 MWD/At. Six tubes of 10-66 material already in the pile were chosen; these have been discharged at exposures varying from ∼1230 to ∼2000 MWD/At.
