Computer Control for a Cladding Thickness Tester

摘要

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.
