A multiple casting process was developed for the production of 0.590 plus or minus 0.005-in. diam. by 12-in. long solid right cylinders. The process involves vacuum induction melting in MgZrO/sub 3/ coated graphite crucibles and casting into coated graphite molds. Thirty-eight hundred fifty 90 wt.% U of 1.5 wt.% enrichment-10 wt.% Mo as-cast pins were produced for HNPF Exponential Experiments. (auth
