Specifications were prepared for control rod fuel elements for the Core Il of PM-2A. These stainless steel-base fuel components of thin plate-type construction and containing a dispersion of UO/sub2/ were successfully used in powering the Army Package Power Reactor. The component, which consisted of sixteen composite fuel plates joined by brazing, was designed for radioactive service in pressurized water. Tests for qualification of fabrication procedures and specifications covening loading, materials, and processing are presented. Also included are drawings and the process flow diagram. (M.C.G.
