Post-irradiation measurements of PT-546 fuel elements

Early in December 1963 eighteen natural uranium columns were discharged from C Reactor. Fifteen (15) of these columns contained alternately charged HDS (test) and AlSi (control) fuel elements in the downstream half (positions 1--16); two columns were charged full length with HDS material; and one column was charged full length with AlSi material. All canned pieces were nominally C5NS dimensions except that the HDS pieces were slightly longer than the standard AlSi pieces. Uranium fabrication history, through heat treatment, was controlled ad equivalent for both test (HDS) and control (AlSi) material. For these eighteen columns average exposure was {approximately}960 Mwd/ton, average tube power was {approximately}1125 kw, and average tube outlet temperature was {approximately}100 C. Two striped charges were discharged in September 1963 @ 370 Mwd/ton. This report presents results of the post-irradiation measurements that have been completed and analyzed as of this date. A second set of measurements for a portion of the material is being programmed.
