Immersed multipurpose device for the inspection of PWR spent pencils in a loop reloaded in the Osiris pool

Description

The equipment for the examination of fuel cans of irradiated fuel pencils by eddy current testing in the pool is described. Despite a high residual power there are no mechanical strains for the cladding and no interference with cooling. A high detection sensitivity is obtained. Friction is eliminated by water cushions and speed of operation is limited only by safety and data acquisition

Abstract (French)

On decrit le controle de crayons combustibles par courants de Foucault en piscine. Malgre une puissance residuelle elevee on n'apporte pas de contraintes mecaniques a la gaine et on n'interfere pas avec le refroidissement. On a obtenu une sensibilite de detection elevee. Les frottements sont elimines par des coussins d'eau et la vitesse d'exploration n'est limitee que par des criteres de securite et le mode d'acquisition des donnees
