8 x 8 fuel surveillance program at Monticello site - end of Cycle 4: second post-irradiation inspection, September 1975
Description
A fuel surveillance program for the lead 8 x 8 fuel assembly was implemented at the Monticello Nuclear Power Station in May 1974. The first post-irradiation inspection was performed on this fuel assembly, MTB099, in January 1975, after an average burnup of 3900 MWd/MT. Results of that inspection are presented in DOE/ET/34031-2. An interim visual inspection was performed in September 1975 after a cumulative burnup of 7830 MWd/MT. Because the January to September operating period was relatively short, only sipping and a visual inspection were made in September to confirm the mechanical integrity of this fuel bundle. The observation of the September inspection revealed the bundle to be in excellent condition; these observations are summarized in this report
