Fabrication and Properties of Extruded Silver-Cadmium Control Rods

Description: The production of cross-type control rods having a span of 4- 7/8 in., and an arm thickness of 1/8/ in., was studied. Extrusion techniques were developed for producing crosstype control rods from each of two alloys; one containing 75% silver-25% cadmium, and the other containing 67% silver-30% cadmium-3% copper. Fabrication of the extruded crosses into clad control rods for the Mark I naval reactor was attempted. A set of unclad control rods for the Zero Power Reactor was produced. The effect o… more

ZIRCONIUM CLADDING OF URANIUM

Description: Under proper conditions of vacuum and mold preheat, a sound ductile alloy bond can be achieved by casting molten uranium into zirconium and Zircaloy- 2 molds. Investigations indicate that a process for production of zirconium of Zircaloy-2 clad fuel elements can be developed by casting directly into preformed shells. Employment of cast bonding techniques appears to be a simple and practical method for assembling extrusion billets. It also appears that coextrusion of cast bonded normal uranium b… more
