Production test IP-255-A-9-FP E-N demonstration test (open access)

Production test IP-255-A-9-FP E-N demonstration test

The objectives of the test described in this report are to evaluate the integrity of I & E MINT fuel elements canned by the ``C`` process to determine the conversion ratio of I & E geometry E-N ``striped loadings,`` and to provide a demonstration loading for a full reactor loading incorporating a ``striped`` center loading and a fringe ``blanket`` loading. This test will involve two portions a 26 tube block loading of I & E enriched uranium and MINT fuel elements arranged in a striped array, and a 10 tube fringe blanket loading of MINT fuel elements supported by the required enriched uranium fuel columns, and accompanied by controls. Either portion may be charged independently.

Production test IP-226-A: Irradiation of enriched seven-rod cluster elements with twenty and thrity mil Zircaloy-2 jackets (open access)

Production test IP-226-A: Irradiation of enriched seven-rod cluster elements with twenty and thrity mil Zircaloy-2 jackets

Seven enriched seven-rod cluster elements, three with thirty mil Zircaloy-2 jackets and four with twenty mil Zircaloy-2 jackets, will be irradiated at high temperature to an exposure of 4500 MWD/T. Coolant temperatures in the internal and external flow channels will be measured during irradiation.
