A series of im-pile fuel sample irradiation experiments was initiated to obtaim radiation damage information on fuel material combinations applicable to Foreign Reactor Program Fuel Elements where U/sup 235/ enrichment is limited to 20%. The series of expcriments will be divided into several phases, each being based on the materials combination employed. This report describes Phase I of the program which consists of determining the integrity and suitability of a 48 wt.% U--3 wt.% Si-49 wt.% Al alloy as a fuel for Foreign Reactor Fuel Elements.
