Description

The alpha phase extrusion of dingot bars to rods for core blank heat treatment at MCW offers a three-fold incentive, including: (1) establishment of an independent alternate source of uranium cores, (2) a slight cost improvement of MCW extrusion over FMPC rolling of dingot and (3) potential improvement in core quality and performance. The purpose of this test is two-fold: (1) to evaluate gross dimensional stability and (2) to evaluate the gross irradiation performance of alpha phase extruded dingot uranium fuel cores. The ultimate objective of this test program is to establish an independent alternate uranium fuel core feed source. … continued below
