title = "Preparing the high flux isotope reactor for conversion to low enriched uranium fuel - extending cycle burnup",
abstract = "Reactor performance studies have been completed for conceptual plate designs and show that maintaining reactor performance while converting HFIR from 235 high enriched to low enriched uranium (20 wt % 235U) fuel requires extending the end-of-life burnup value for HFIR fuel from the current nominal value of 2200 MWD to 2600 MWD. The current fuel fabrication procedure is discussed and changes that would be required to this procedure are identified. Design and safety related analyses that are required for the certification of a new fuel are identified. Qualification tests and comments regarding the regulatory approval process are provided along with a conceptual schedule.",
