Creators

  • 1. Studsvik Nuclear, Nykoeping (Sweden)

Description

For pt.I see ibid., p.129-49 (1997). An example of general fuel behaviour studies on power reactor fuel is described. Examples of recent non-destructive and destructive hot cell investigation techniques are given, illustrated by an investigation of full-size power reactor fuel rods and by a detailed study of fission product redistribution and release. A review is given of some international research and development projects addressing the pellet-cladding interaction problem. (orig.)
