Tests in both air and sodium environments indicate that a chromium-plated nozzle is superior to a bare 316 stainless steel nozzle in minimizing wear damage to FFTF fuel assemblies without damaging the long life receptacle liner. Loads during initial withdrawal cycles are similar with either nozzle surface; however, with the stainless steel nozzle and repeated insertions and withdrawals, the loads increase.
