Title: Enhanced HFIR overpower margin through improvements in fuel plate homogeneity inspection

Conference ·
OSTI ID:102242

Fuel homogeneity inspection techniques used on the HFIR fuel plates have recently been improved through conversion of the X-ray inspection device to acquire, store, and process data digitally. This paper reports some early results from using the improved equipment and describes future plans for obtaining enhanced fuel thermal performance by exploiting this improved inspection capability.
