new Low Enriched Uranium (LEU) U-Mo Fuel and testing the performance of the plate fuel.
The primary fuel design is based on uranium-molybdenum (U-Mo) foil clad in an aluminum
alloy that are in the form of mini-plate specimens (1" x 4” plates). The fuel plates will be
placed in a capsule in four layers with two plates per layer. The experiment is designed in
such a way that the gaps between the U-Mo fuel plates are ultrasonically measured after …
