ABSTRACT
Efforts to develop a viable monolithic research
reactor fuel plate have continued at Idaho National
Laboratory. These efforts have concentrated on both
fabrication process refinement and scale-up to produce
full sized fuel plates. Advancements have been made in
the production of U-Mo foil including full sized foils.
Progress has also been made in the friction stir welding
and transient liquid phase bonding fabrication processes
resulting in better bonding, more stable processes and
the ability to fabricate larger fuel plates.
