Abstract
This report contains the results of reactor fuel element design for conversion of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Reactor (MITR) from the use of highly enriched uranium (HEU) fuel to the use of low enriched uranium (LEU) fuel. The analyses were performed by staff members of the Global Threat Reduction Initiative (GTRI) Reactor Conversion Program at the Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Nuclear Reactor Laboratory. The core conversion to LEU is being performed with financial support of the U.S. government.
