Power Cycling of High Power Density Fuel Specimens Clad With 10-Mil Wall Stainless Steel

Description: Three thin-wall stainless steel fuel specimens made using fabrication processes and materials similar to the Consumers Big Rock Plant research and development fuel rods were power cycled 3000 times between 500,000 and 75,000 BTU/hr-ft2 in the General Electric Test Reactor (GETR) Trail Cable facility. The fuel specimens were exposed to 1000 psi boiling water. All of the fuel specimens withstood the test without failing or without any significant changes in the clad characteristics.
