ULTRASONIC INSPECTION OF PRTR FUEL ELEMENT CLADDING
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4155336
An immersion ultrasonic test was developed which will detect small cracks on the inner surface of Zircaloy-2 tubing used for PRTR fuel-element cladding. The ultrasonic method was compared with fluorescent-penetrant and eddy- current tests and found to be the most sensitive to crack type defects. The method is not sensitive to bonded inclusions or to wall-thickness variations. The development, evaluation, and application of this test are described. (auth)
