Computer control for a cladding thickness tester

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/5688392· OSTI ID:5688392
A cladding thickness tester for extruded reactor fuel tubes has been automated to provide reduced operator interaction. The cladding thickness tester, which uses an x-ray fluorescence analyzer, has been interfaced with an SRL/6800 microcomputer to control fuel tube orientation, operate the analyzer, calculate cladding thickness, and give pertinent data in hardcopy tabular form.
