A numerical heat transfer model based on the HEATING53 conduction code was developed to analyze poor bonding around the endcap of the outer Mark 15 slug. An analytical model could not be developed because of non-uniform heat generation in the core and the arrangement of the various materials in the cylindrical geometry. Results for air gaps are also included; however, they are not considered reasonable poor bond cases because the 300 area inspection tests can detect slugs with air gaps. This reports discusses the test results
