THE FABRICATION OF PROTOTYPE FUEL ELEMENTS FOR THE EXPERIMENTAL BOILING WATER REACTOR AND THE EXPERIMENTAL BREEDER REACTOR. Yearly Report : July 1, 1954 to June 30, 1955
The methods used for producing prototype fuel elements for the Experimertal Boiling Water and Experimertal Breeder Reactors are described. Foundry and fabrication techniques and problems are discussed; the results of product evaluation are given. Extrusion constarts for several U alloys and for Zircaloy-2 are included. Thermal expansion and transformation characteristics for the U-5 w/o Zr-1.5 w/o Nb alloy are given. (auth)
