Pulsed eddy current inspection system for nondestructive examination of irradiated fuel rods
Description
An inspection system has been developed for nondestructive examination of irradiated fuel rods utilizing pulsed eddy current techniques. The system employs an encircling type, pulsed eddy current transducer capable of sensing small defects located, on both the inner and outer diameter fuel rod surfaces during a single scan. Pulsed eddy current point probes are used to provide fuel rod wall thickness data and an indication of radial defect location. Two linear variable differential transformers are used to provide information on fuel rod diameter variation. A microprocessor-based control system is used to automatically scan fuel rods up to 4.06 meters in length at predetermined radial locations
