Description

The Nuclear Mettalurgy Department of IPEN-CNEN-SP began in 1984 the construction of MTR fuel elements 20 percent enriched in 235U that will be used to substitute the IEA-R1 fuel elements showing high 235U burnup rates. Like all pioneer programs there was the needing of establishing guidelines for the inspection of these fuel elements. This paper describes how these steps are being developed and the results verified by now. (Author)

Abstract (Portuguese)

A partir de 1984 o Departamento de Metalurgia Nuclear do IPEN/CNEN-SP iniciou um programa de construcao de elementos combustiveis tipo MTR, 20% enriquecidos em 235U para substituirem os elementos combustiveis do reator IEA-R1 atualmente com altos indices de queima de 235U. Como todo programa pioneiro, houve a necessidade de se tracar diretrizes para avaliacao do desempenho destes elementos. O presente trabalho procura mostrar como estao sendo desenvolvidas estas etapas, e os resultados ate aqui verificados. (Autor)
