Preliminary Inspection of Spent Fast Reactor Fuel Claddings

  • 1. Joint Stock Company ''Institute of Nuclear Materials'' (INM), Zarechny (Russian Federation)

Description

Electrical potential testing, used as a rapid method for examination of claddings after operation in BN-600 reactor and applied for incoming inspection in INM hot cell laboratory, is described. Electrical resistivity curves, obtained during electrical potential testing, demonstrate the level of the fuel element defectiveness and help to work out a cladding dismantling plan for further post irradiation examination of materials. The aspects of electrical potential testing of ChS-68 and EK-164 claddings are given. (author)
