Current research projects at the Austrian TRIGA Mark II. High sensitive detection of rare fission gas release of a fuel element sample of the TRIGA Mark II reactor in Vienna

Description

It is intended to study the temperature dependent release of rare fission gas products, thus providing information for the calculation of cladding material thickness and burn-up. The fuel clement sample has a diameter of 15/32 inch and 1/2 inch height. The temperature is controlled by 5 thermocoax thermocouples. Pellet, thermocouples and heating coils are encapsulated in a stainless steel tube with an inlet and an outlet for the Helium carrier stream. The Helium is free of Ar, Kr and Xe. The counter system consists of a NaJ crystal in connection with two photomultipliers, the crystal being surrounded by two coaxial annular proportional counters. The radioactive gases are measured while they are flowing through the counting volume
