U.S. Domestic Reactor Conversion Program Fuel Inspections and Quality Control David F. Capp Research Reactor Fuels Inspector/Engineer 2007 RRFM Conference September 2007

The RERTR U.S. Domestic Conversion Program continues in its support of the Global Threat Reduction Initiative (GTRI) to convert seven U.S. Test Research and Training Reactors to low enriched uranium (LEU) by An important part of conversion process is the procurement of the fuel and other reactor components by the INL. The presentation will be a general overview of the Quality Assurance/Inspection processes used to procure components for the reactors with some specifics on the inspection processes used for plate type fuel elements and TRIGA elements.

Qualification and Training Personnel Qualification –NDT personnel in accordance with SNT-TC-1A –Other Inspectors / Operators in accordance with Customer approved procedures. Training –Documented On-Job-Training –Comprehensive Training Checklists –Division-Wide Training (i.e., Safety, Regulatory, etc)

Establishing Requirements 10 CRF Quality Assurance Program. Component Specifications based on University Specifications and Safety Analysis

Quality Assurance Program Based on ASME Nuclear Quality Assurance (NQA-1)

Receipt Inspection of Raw Material

Weighing of Fuel Charge

Control of Quality Records Maintenance of Quality Records based on Requirements of NQA-1 –Records Consist of Documents, UT Traces, X-Ray Film, etc

Control of Quality Records Record Retention –Lifetime Records –Nonpermanent Records

Oversight Inspection In Process Prior to Shipment Inspections are Checked due to the Complexity of the Processes
