Specifications for Fuel Assemblies for Core I of the Experimental Gas-Cooled Reactor (open access)

Specifications for Fuel Assemblies for Core I of the Experimental Gas-Cooled Reactor

These specifications for the fuel assemblies for Core I of the Experimental Gas-Cooled Reactor (EGCR) have been developed for use in procuring the first core loading. A fuel assembly for EGCR consists of a cluster of seven cylindrical fuel elements spaced and supported within a graphite sleeve. Each fuel element consists of a stainless steel tube containing a column of hollow UO2 pellets and having a spacer brazed at the midsection to control the spacing between fuel elements in a cluster. A master specification for the fuel assembly, a supplementary specification for each of the components, and a specification on record keeping during manufacture are included.
