GA Technologies, Inc., (GA) authorizing the use.of zirconium hydride matrix fuel containing up to 30 weight per cent uranium with enrichment up to 20% in the GA Mark F nonpower reactor. The Safety Evaluation Report (NUREG-1282),
evaluates the results of fuel tests carried out at GA and under the Reduced {
Enrichment for Research and Test Reactor (RERTR) program at the Oak Ridge i Research Reactor. RERTR is an international effort to reduce the uranium i enrichment of nonpower reactor fuels by the development of high uranium- 1 density fuels. The authorized fuel types are generically acceptable for use I in other licensed TRIGA reactors, which will help to simplify the conversion l from high enriched fuel required by 10 CFR 50.64. ~
