Full Rod Length Gamma Spectroscopy Measurements of LWR Used Fuel Rods
Abstract
Twenty-five high-burnup pressurized water reactor used fuel rods were scanned in the Irradiated Fuels Examination Laboratory at Oak Ridge National Laboratory with a high-resolution gamma spectrometer. A planar high-purity germanium detector was used across an energy range from 60 keV to 3 MeV. Gamma spectra of individual fuel rods were collected in 4.5 mm steps along the entire length of each rod. Additional spectra were collected on select rods in rotational increments of 30 degrees to provide data on the distribution of fission products along the rod perimeter.
