REACTOR FUEL ELEMENT INSPECTION

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4356988
Fuel elements from the Aircraft Shield Test Reactor and the Ground Test Reactor were inspected to determine physical condition and corrosion damage. Although several types of corrosion were in evidence, no fission product activity was detectable on the fuel elements. Procedures were developed which included transportation, visual inspection, photography, corrosion sampling, and surface casting. The results of the inspections are presented and the methods and equipment used are evaluated. (auth)
