Fuel Elements Dear Mr. Johnsons W114nokrodt Nuclear Corporation is preparing to nanufacture for Allis-Chalmers several thousand fuel pins containing U0, pelleta of nearly theoretical density, l
Each pin will contain These pins are approximately 18" long and 7/16" diameter.we Iaopose to packa i
255 srams of 00s at 1.8% enr4ah===t.
tidt drum which has been thorocably tested by the military services of the 1he pins will be suh ed in this drum by polystyrens foam dun-t kited States.
Eneh drtsa will, therefore, contain mage.
255 x.sats x 170 = 32,216 grams u 32,216 x. 018 = 687.89 grams gese Limited ante quantity of 1.8% assay uranium is 135 kg l

Bose cniculations are nado for a singlo layer array; however, NOTE:
tho drawing of this birdcago distinctly shows stacking lugs on It must, therefore, be assumed that the top side of the cago.
these birdcages are in fact stacked when used by AEC contractors J
Se solid angle calculated for shipments of large quantities.
abow would be very conservative under these circumstances.
De following table compares the proposed shipping centahr with the standard 20" AEC birdcage on a series of points:
