Fuel element component procurement requires a considerable lead time (three to four months after design is completed). Collection of data and statistical analyses to evaluate the performance of these components takes even longer. There is often reluctance to disturb the status quo in these matters without engineering recommendations; these are usually not given until the parameters are defined quantitatively with a high statistical level of significance. The purpose of this analysis is to take a qualitative look at material discharged to determine what conclusions can be drawn concerning the performance of C-64-F and X-8001-F clad fuel elements.
