ABSTRACT
Since May 2003, one RECH-1 fuel element has been
submitted to irradiation at the HFR-Petten, Holland. By
November 2004 the irradiation has achieved its pursued
goal of 55% burn up. This irradiation qualification
service will finish in the year 2005 with PIE tests, as
established in a contractual agreement between the IAEA,
NRG, and CCHEN. This report presents the objectives and
the current results of this fuel qualification under
irradiation. Besides, a brief description of CHI/4/021,
IAEA’s Technical Cooperation Project that has supported
this irradiation test, is also presented here.
