Description

This report presents the results of gamma spectrometric measurements on spent fuel bundles carried out during a routine inspection at Kozlodui Nuclear Power Station in Bulgaria (PWR--Novovoronezh type) by using portable IAEA equipment. A Ge spectrometer was used to measure gamma spectra in the energy region from 500 to 900 keV. The cooling time was determined from the Zr-95/Cs-137 ratio, and the average burn-up and Pu/U fraction was calculated from the Cs-134/Cs-137 ratio. 10 refs
