Description
Special tooling was developed at Chalk River Laboratories to cut a sample from a CANDU pressure tube without removing the tube from the reactor. Only a small amount of material is removed for deuterium analysis (about 50 mg), and the contour of the cut is carefully controlled so that tube integrity is preserved. This paper describes the tool and its development, and discusses the results of laboratory and in-reactor tests
