The Role of SCK-CEN in Product Qualification of MOX-Fuel
Description
Accurate and reliable analysis of the nuclear fuel composition, the identification and quantification of trace impurities, and microstructural characterisation are essential requirements for the qualification of nuclear fuel production and for solving fuel manufacturers' problems. SCK-CEN has over 20 years' experience in this field and provides analytical services for the characterization of fresh and spent experimental and commercial nuclear fuels. A significant part of the qualification of mixed oxide (MOX) fuels produced at the Belgonucleaire MOX plant situated at Dessel in Belgium was performed in our laboratories.The main objective is to provide analytical methodologies allowing the validation of nuclear fuels and the study of parameters that are essential for the safe handling of the fuel before, during and after burning in power reactors of various types
