Abstract

A summary of results from the non-destructive examination of the FUTURIX-FTA irradiation are presented. This irradiation was conducted under true fast spectrum conditions in the Phenix reactor. Baseline non-destructive examinations of these tests have been completed at this time. Results from visual examination, neutron radiography, gamma spectrometry, and dimensional inspection have been collected. The data collected from this irradiation will be compared to sister irradiations performed in pseudo-fast spectrum conditions at the INL Advanced Test Reactor helping to confirm fuel performance behavior observed in Advanced Test Reactor irradiations is representative of fast reactor conditions.
