Description

The paper presents the RIAR experience in development and using of dismountable irradiation assembly (EFA). The irradiation assembly makes it possible to remove fuel rods or rods with material-science specimens after irradiation for subsequent intermediate post irradiation examinations by using nondestructive methods and can be either placed back in the same EFA or sent to the specialized area for examinations by destructive methods. In total 10 EFAs, approx. 30 specimens have been under test. PIE after several cycles ''irradiation-washing-assembling-irradiation'' showed, that such operations make no influence on fuel performance. (author)
