AbstractAbstract
[en] The history, development, and fabrication of Fast Flux Test Reactor driver fuel pins at the Babcock and Wilcox Company's Parks Township Fabrication Facility in Western Pennsylvania are summarized. The basic process steps are described with emphasis placed on the development efforts which led to the specific production practices used today. Typical conventional production equipment is shown to highlight the standardization which has taken place. Years of continuous production operation have enabled testing and refinement of techniques and equipment systems to the extent that manufacture of LMFBR fuel is now performed routinely within the constraints of all regulatory safety and safeguards criteria, including ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) control philosophy
