Technical bases for C-pile overbore test

摘要

The production gains and economic evaluation of overboring has been extensively treated. In this document, the justification for a trial attempt at overboring C-Reactor was given. The overboring test, covered by two production tests (one or overboring and one for fuel irradiation), requires the integration of efforts of Equipment Development, Process and Reactor Development, Process Technology, Manufacturing, and the Fuels Preparation Department. In view of this, it appears prudent to collect in one place the current design numbers with a word of explanation regarding their derivation. To this end, this document is dedicated.
