INVESTIGATION OF THE TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY OF COLD EXTRUSION FOR ZIRCALOY-2 TUBING PRODUCTION. Quarterly Technical Progress Report, July-September, 1961

Description: Bar-extrusion tests were performed at 50. 65, and 80% reductions at room temperature and 300 deg C. Tensile tests were conducted on as-extruded and heat-treated specimens. The results are tabulated for comparison. The extrusion of small tubing, 0.560-in. OD x 0.030-in. wall, in the first and second tube- extrusion steps are described. (B.O.G.)

The Effects of Irradiation on Uranium-Plutonium-Fissium Fuel Alloys. Final Report on Metallurgy Program 6.5.5

Description: A total of 35 specimens of U-Pu-fissium alloy and 2 specimens of U-10 wt% Pu-5 wt% Mo alloy were irradiated as a part of the fue1-alloy development program for fast breeder reactors at Argonne National Laboratory. Total atom burnups ranged from 1.0 to 1.8% at maximum fuel temperatures ranging from 230 to 470 deg C. Emphasis was placed on the EBR-II Core-III reference fuel material, which is an injection-cast, U-20 wt% Pu-10 wt% fissium alloy. lt was found that this material begins to swell cata… more

INVESTIGATION OF THE TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY OF COLD EXTRUSION FOR ZIRCALOY-2 TUBING PRODUCTION. Quarterly Technical Progress Report, October-December 1960

Description: S>Activities included completion of room-temperature extrusion tests on Zircaloy bar, and extrusions with 50% reduction at temperatures up to 400 deg C. Results of these tests are tabulated along with results of billet piercing tests at 300 deg C. It is noted that production of capped Zircaloy tubes by cold extrusion appears promising. (J.R.D.)

IRRADIATION OF A U-2% Zr FUEL TUBE IN THE VBWR

Description: A coextruded 2-inch-diameter tubular fuel element of U-2 wt% Zr alloy clad with Zircaloy-2 was irradiated in the Vallecitos Boiling Water Reactor to 1280 Mwd/t burnup with a maximum core temperature of 433 deg C. The purpose of this irradiation was to determine the dimensional stability of the alloy under conditions approaching those contemplated for D/sub 2/O-cooled power reactors. Successive dimensional measurements revealed a sharp change in swelling rate between 700 and 1280 Mwd/t burnup. T… more

INVESTIGATION OF THE TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY OF COLD EXTRUSION FOR ZIRCALOY-2 TUBING PRODUCTION. Quarterly Technical Progress Report No. 3, April-June 1961

Description: Investigations are being made to establish the feasibility of using cold extrusion to produce Zircaloy-2 tubular products. Tests on extruding 1 1/4-in. diameter billets were completed. Samples in 46 bar-extrusion tests were extruded with 80% reduction at 400 deg C. Severe lubricant breakdown occurred. Piercing tests were conducted at, room temperature and 200 deg C, using 50% reduction and a 140-degree conical punch profile. Good extrusions were obtained in forraing 1.07-in. OD x 0.052-in. wall… more

Hanford Engineer Works Technical Manual: Section a, Metal Preparation

Description: Metal is used in the Hanford process in the form of short cylinders, or slugs, which are bonded to aluminum jackets. the jackets are necessary to prevent corrosion and the escape of radioactive materials. The bonding is required to provide adequate heat transfer. This section of the manual deals with the preparation of the jacketed slugs. 6 figs.

Production test IP-468-A-FP, Program for evaluation of alpha extruded fuel cores

Description: Currently, all normal production HAPO fuel cores are rolled into rods at Fernald, consequently, HAPO is dependent upon one vendor for a critical raw material. This arrangement does not appear to be consistent with good business practice, and it is desirable to have an alternate fuel source tested and available. Mallinckrodt`s Weldon Spring plant contains an extrusion press for the gamma bar extrusion and a logical sequence of operations should permit further extrusion in the alpha phase to the … more

Processing data for NIE and NIN KER Loop charges (PT 377)

Description: The following data represents processing conditions used in fabricating prototypic (except for supports) natural and enriched NPR inner fuel elements for Production Test 377. The prototypic NPR inner fuel elements were inserted into zircaloy-sleeves prior to charging. In this way it was possible to simulate, in the KER loops, the conditions under which NPR fuel elements would be subjected under irradiation. The purpose in documenting the data is to provide a permanent record of processing condi… more

Critique - NPR fuel

Description: The current status of the NPR fuel fabrication and testing program has been reviewed; suggestions have been made concerning areas requiring more information. This report is divided into a series of sections, each of which is a complete entity so a specific problem area can be considered apart from the entire NPR Fuel process. The final section incorporating conclusions and recommendations reaffirms the factors of major importance as well as evaluating those areas which are interrelated. Process… more

Design of production test IP-468-A-FP, program for evaluation of alpha extruded fuel cores

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 di… more

Pluto fuel element fabrication at Lawrence Radiation Laboratory

Description: Declassified 26 Nov 1973. Development of an extrusion-based process for producing beryllia fuel elements for the Pluto nuciear powered ramjet is described. The goal was to extrude and fire hexagonal tubes to close dimensional tolerances without grinding. Sinterable beryllia powder was fueled by precipitating uranium and fuel additives from a single aqueous solution in which the beryllia had been slurried. After sintering, the fuel phase consisted of a phasestabilized solid solution of urania (U… more
