Manufacturing and performance experience were evaluated to determine those changes in the fuel pin specifications which would potentially effect a reduction in fuel cycle cost (without detriment to core performance) and to identify any required additional supporting tests. The task required the combined expertise of fuel design, fabrication, performance, safety and quality assurance specialists. The evaluation indicated that a substantial cost reduction could be achieved and that the required additional supporting tests for FFTF fuel could be completed prior to fuel pin manufacturing operations in the Secure Automated Fabrication (SAF) facility in 1986.
