Measurement of the burnup distribution of irradiated PWR fuels
- 1. KAERI, Taejon (Korea, Republic of)
Description
To confirm the burnup distribution of irradiated PWR fuels, the axial and radial distribution of 137Cs intensity of irradiated fuel assembly and rods were obtained by a gamma scanning method. The axial distribution of 137Cs intensity of fuel rod was compared with the burnup data of fuel specimens, which were evaluated by 148Nd analytical method. And a correlation between 137Cs intensity and burnup was derived. By the 134Cs/137Cs intensity ratio of fuel assembly, the neutron flux distribution in the reactor core was confirmed. The burnups of the axial and radial distribution of fuel rod were decreased at the grid positions and the fuel center, respectively
