Scrap Material Examination Test 1.

[摘要] The objectives of this test were to: (1) Determine the volume of fuel contained in the scrap material (fuel pieces plus W springs, spacer clips, or other non-fuel material) by photographic and graphical analysis, (2) Provide sufficient data quantity and quality to support: (a) statistical prediction of future scrap amounts and morphology with sufficient confidence to qualify the volume quantification process (b) thermal analysis of the scrap sufficient to support safety basis calculations for thermal stability, and (3) Provide sufficient operational experience to address usage of process in production operations, if necessary.
