- Summary
- The 30,000-h compatibility tests with /sup 90/SrF/sub 2/ were completed, and the test capsules were shipped to Oak Ridge National Laboratory for sectioning and metallographic examination. The 23 Hastelloy S and Hastelloy C-4 prototype outer capsules to be used in the qualification tests were radiographed and helium leak-checked. None of the capsules leaked, but radiographs of the capsule welds showed that weld penetration was only 50 to 70% of the desired amount. It has been decided to reweld the five capsules to be used for the impact (drop) test; the other capsules will be tested without being rewelded. Some prototype outer capsules will be qualification tested in the as-fabricated condition, while others will be tested after aging for 8000 h at 650/sup 0/C and 725/sup 0/C.
