CX-270102: U.S. High Performance Research Reactor Fuel Development Post Irradiation Examination

The purpose of this second Environment Checklist (EC) revision is to add residual stress measurements and bond strength measurements to the project scope as described later in this EC. The purpose of this work is to support the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)/National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) Global Threat Reduction Initiative’s (GTRI's) Reactor Conversion program (herein referred to as the Convert Program) which minimizes the use of highly enriched uranium (HEU) in civilian applications by providing governments and facilities around the world with technical and economic assistance to convert research reactors to the use of non-weapons-usable low enriched uranium (LEU) fuels.
