On-line sipping test system

Abstract

When leaking fuel assembly must be identified during routine performance of core unloading sequences, PWR utilities use some systems like sipping test equipments, ultrasonic detection or eddy current control. For this purpose, FRAGEMA proposes, the on-line sipping test system, of which process is patented by CEA. This system is installed on the refuelling machine in the reactor fuel building. This one-line system detect leaking fuel assembly during the fuel handling operation and, it provides a significant refuelling outage time saving, unlike the other systems. In addition, the system installation and exploitation present more facilities: Mast equipments installed on the machine without mechanical structure modification, only two days are necessary for the first erection, and it`s a self-contained equipment (no additional operator required for driving the system).
