Abstract

This paper documents the experience gained at CERCA in manufacturing, testing, and inspecting U3Si2 fuel elements for various Material Test Reactors (MTR) since the beginning of the RERTR Program in 1978, up to now. It emphasises how the company controls the product to insure compliance with the fuel-related safety parameters. Finally, those statements are considered in the UMo fuel production perspective.
