The project plans to transfer two TRIGA elements currently stored at the Idaho Nuclear Technology and Engineering Center (INTEC) to the Hot Fuels Examination Facility (HFEF) at the Materials and Fuels Complex (MFC) at Idaho National Laboratory (INL) using the Battelle Energy Alliance, LLC (BEA) Research Reactor (BRR) cask in order to perform post irradiation examination (PIE) to determine if eutectic phases are formed between the differing materials, and its impact on cladding integrity. Process modifications and operational changes at INTEC to support the proposed action have been documented in the Idaho Cleanup Project's environmental checklist 32092.
