High Burn-up Tests on U-Al Fuel Elements

The desired neutron spectrum for the High Flux Beam Reactor under construction at BNL requires use of U-Al fuel elements with more then 30 wt% U235 in the meat. The operating cycle of this reactor requires a minimum burn-up of 20%, and preferably 40% of the uranium in the element.
