Examination of Irradiated Uranium-Chromium Alloy Slugs
Production Test 313-105-13-M authorized the irradiation of a uranium - 0.4 atomic per cent chromium alloy to determine the relative stability of this material during irradiation. Five tubes, each containing six four-inch alloy slugs, were irradiated to exposures ranging from 156 to 834 MWD/T. This report describes the results of the visual examination of the bare uranium alloy slugs and the results of the test to determine slug breaking strength. The breaking strength of both the U-Cr alloy slugs and the normal uranium control slugs was reduced by exposure in the pile. The breaking strength of those U-Cr alloy pieces not cracked or broken in the jackets before examination was consistently greater than the breaking strength of the normal uranium at all exposures.
