NONDESTRUCTIVE TESTING OF EBR-I MARK III FUEL ELEMENTS AND COMPONENTS
Ultrasonic and eddy current methods were used to inspect EBR-I Mark III fuel elements and componentsUltrasonic techniques were used to inspect for homogeneity of the casting, bonding of the core to the clad on the extruded rod, bonding of the Zircaloy spacer disk to the uranium, and cracks in the Zircaloy rod used for end caps. Eddy current techniques were used to measure the cladding thickness on the extruded rods and to inspect the zirconium wire used for spacers on the completed fuel element. (auth)
