Description

CAMERA is an irradiation installation conceived to measure under neutronic flux and continuously the dimension variations of a fuel pencil of PWR reactors. The device, set in the periphery of the OSIRIS reactor, can receive new, preirradiated or reconstituted pencils. The principles of measurements is explained. Then, a brief description of the installation is given: in-pile part; out-of-pile part; connections. The technical characteristics of the installation are presented. A first qualification test of the installation under flux has been carried out at the end of the first semester 1984 in the OSIRIS reactor

Abstract (French)

CAMERA est une installation d'irradiation concue pour mesurer sous flux neutronique et en continu les variations dimensionnelles d'un crayon combustible des Reacteurs a Eau sous Pression (REP). Le dispositif, implante en peripherie du reacteur OSIRIS, peut recevoir indifferemment des crayons neufs, preirradies ou reconstitues. On explique le principe des mesures. On donne ensuite une description succincte de l'installation: partie en pile; partie hors-pile; les liaisons. On presente les caracteristiques techniques de l'installation. Un premier essai de qualification sous flux de l'installation CAMERA a ete effectue a la fin du premier semestre 1984 dans le reacteur OSIRIS
