During April the N-Reactor operated with a time operated efficiency of 70.8%; and a production availability and steam availability to Washington Public Power Supply System of 68.5%. No fuel element failures occurred. A scheduled outage (April 18 to 25) was used to complete planned maintenance, accomplish the modifications required for the 4,800 Mw power level probe, and for charging the fourth increment of the coproduct demonstration load. Fuel element input production was 100% of forecast. Output production was 110% of forecast, significantly improving finished-fuel inventories and reducing in-process material levels. Calendar-year-to-date output is 102% of forecast. There are now 844 columns of coproduct fuel in the reactor. Two columns of high exposure, 1.96% enriched, coproduct fuel (discharged during March) were examined. These fuels had attained a tube average exposure of 4,094 Mwd/t and operated at uranium temperatures of 550 C to 475 C (temperature range predicted for Mark 5 fuel). Cladding buckling was minimal. The superior performance is attributed to the 800 ppm Al plus 400 ppm Fe uranium alloy. Flow testing of the prototypic Mark 4 fuel continued during the month. Flow split data are being used to redesign the support system to balance the flow in the coolant …

Declassified 5 Sep 1973. A reactor configuration and operating conditions are selected for a 200 kW(e) Brayton cycle space power system as a reference point for the 710 Reactor fuel systems development program and for studies of the effects of the reactor and space power system designs on the 710 Reactor fuel system.

Declassified 21 Sep 1973. A wide range of metallic hydrides (to NH 9.0), each containing additives to tailor the nuclear characteristics, have been fabricated successfully. Specific additives have included B compounds and high Z- material compounds, e.g., W, Hf, Th. Hydrided Ti which contains B compounds has proven relatively easy to fabricate and has shown excellent radiation stability. Post-irradiation appearance (through 6 x 10/sup 20/ nvt thermal) shows no visible changes. Strengths to 150,000 psi at 380 deg C (with ductile failure) have been observed for TiH. Sound, massive N/sub H/ 6.9 hydrided Zr rods have been fabricated in hydride-furnace batches as large as 50 kg, with 100% yield. A 50 Th-50 Zr hydride of N/sub H/ 6.7 and higher has been fabricated. The basic structure, apparently ThZr/sub 2/H/sub 8/, is a cubic spinel-type structure and is the first reported hydride having this structure. This material, when containing a B compound additive, will probably provide more gamma shielding than is generally needed, but the material has interesting possibilities as a combination breeder-blanket-shield. It now appears that almost any combination of looked-for nuclear properties can be incorporated into a metallic hydride composite having useful engineering characteristics. (16 tables, 23 figs) (DLC)
