This Cost Improvement Proposal recommends an increase in the length of enriched fuel elements (for H Reactor only) from 6.64 in. to 8.1 in. A cost improvement would result as follows: Annual Out-of-Pocket Cost Savings, $121,000; Annual Outage Time Savings -- 65 Hours, worth 4,550 MD and Annual Production Level Gain -- 7,000 MWD. Since the Production Fuels Section and off-site suppliers are already equipped to handle elements of this length, the cost to make the change should be insignificant compared to the annual savings.
