Book Description
"Because of it's extensive experience in the use of plutonium, the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory is investigating the use of this fuel in fast power-breeder reactor systems. The fuels which are being studied at present in the LAMPRE Program are molten alloys, since these appear to offer a number of advantages over solid fuel elements for reactor applications, particularly in high burnup and greatly simplified reprocessing" - p.3.

Book Description
Four EBR-I Mark-IV prototype fuel rods containing slugs of plutonium- 1 wt% aluminum alloy were irradiated in the EBR-I reactor at central fuel temperatures from 342 to 386 deg C and at burnups up to 0.1 at.%. No appreciable slumping of the fuel occurred during irradiation, and no significant density nor dimensional changes were observed. Variation of the initial fuel-cladding annulus from 0.004 to 0.019 in. had no significant effect on the slumping behavior, but the larger clearance did allow the fuel pin to bow to a greater extent than that observed in fuel rods with smaller annuli. A niobium restrainer effectively decreased the amount of bowing from that found in a rod with a similar annulus, but did not appear to offer any greater restriction than that provided by a small 0.004-in. annulus.
