AbstractAbstract
[en] Aluminum-clad TRIGA fuel in the University of Arizona Mark I reactor was replaced with stainless steel-clad TRIGA fuel which had high burnup from previous use. Good knowledge of previous burnup was found to be important, in order that the fuel could be arranged to give enough excess reactivity for operation pulse mode with core positions occupied by irradiation facilities. Gamma ray activity measurements, burnup calculations, and reactivity measurements of individual fuel elements were used to set up a core configuration to meet these requirements. A method of determining burnup which utilizes the reactivity measurements has been developed to improve on the inventory method used by the previous owners. (author)
