| Abstract: | The reference letter outlined an initial proposal for irradiating limited categories of substandard fuel elements in the upstream positions of the reactor process tubes. As Phase 2 of this program, a comprehensive study has been made of all current fuel reject categories with respect to use in the upstream low rupture potential positions. This report describes additional ̀̀reject̀̀ fuel categories, the estimated cost savings, rupture potential, and procedures for identifying and handling pieces to fulfill the combined requirements of Phase 1 and 2 of this program. Future methods for grading fuel elements to reduce rupture potential in the downstream reactor positions are also outlined in this report. |
