Description

The MEDINA device has been designed for measuring the evolution of the profile of a fuel element during irradiation. The device comprises mainly a displacement unit which withdraws the fuel pin from the reactor core and passes it over electromagnetic measuring sensors. The accuracy effectively attained is about +-1μm on a fuel pin diameter of 6.5 mm. A description of the device, and the evaluation of one year of operating experience are presented
