Method of preparing gas tags for identification of single and multiple failures of nuclear reactor fuel assemblies
Abstract
For use in the identification of failed fuel assemblies in a nuclear reactor, the ratios of the tag gas isotopic concentrations are located on curved surfaces to enable the ratios corresponding to failure of a single fuel assembly to be distinguished from those formed from any combination of two or more failed assemblies.
