Studies in support of the development of Fe-Cr-Al- clad primarily on the following areas: (1) mechanism of ribbon failure under thermal cycling conditions, (2) formation of uranium metal in the core and diffusion to the cladding, (3) compatibility of ribbon components, (4) coatings for increased oxidation resistance of the ribbon, and (5) alternate approaches to hardware and over-all fuel element design.
