Application of radiographic paper to quality control of MTR fuel elements

Description

To lower the cost and shorten control time, X-ray paper is used at Risoe for the control of U/Al blocks and plates during the production of MTR fuel elements for the DR3 reactor. An investigation using two brands of X-ray paper and different kinds of X-ray machines showed that X-ray paper radiographs are of adequate quality for the above purpose. Radiographic quality was checked for U/Al blocks using holes drilled in the 30 mm thick blocks, whereas for U/Al plates an Al step-wedge was used to check the radiographic contrast. (author)
