Description
Indian Nuclear Power Programme is currently based on installation of a series of pressurised heavy water reactors in 235 MWe size, followed by 500 MWe size reactors in the nineties. Indigenous facilities for nuclear fuel design, fabrication and quality auditing have been developed. Statistical quality control and 100% inspection techniques are applied for ensuring the quality of fuel. Good operating experience on fuel over the last 10 years has validated the design and quality characteristics in fuel specifications. The paper describes the different designs of PHWR fuel bundles now fabricated in India and the quality control aspects evolved. Furthermore, some typical results are brought out. (orig.)
