KER-3 operating report test K-3-16, PT IP-477-A

The objective of this production test was to evaluate the irradiation behavior of N. Reactor fuel elements at conditions equivalent to or more severe than those expected in N Reactor. The thermocouple train consisted of eleven 23-inch NAE1 elements (replicas of an N Reactor fuel element) plus five 16-inch tubular perfs. The elements were enriched to 0.947 per cent. They were coextruded Zircaloy-2 jacketed self-supported uranium tubes concentrically nested one within the other to provide an element with four heat transfer surfaces and three coolant channels. For specific dimensions, refer to Production Test IP-477-A.
