CA 2645836

Example embodiments are directed to a fuel rod (100) having end pieces (120/130) on either end containing irradiation targets. Example embodiment end pieces (120/130) may contain materials that may be converted to desired isotopes when exposed to neutron flux encountered at the end piece (120/130) position. Example embodiment end pieces (120/130) may be fabricated from the materials or may otherwise house the materials. Example embodiment end pieces (120/130) may mate with a variety of full-length and/or part-length fuel rods 18 and 19 and may function as upper and/or lower end plugs (120/130), mating the fuel rods (100) to upper and/or lower tie plates (14/16).
