THE FINISHING AND INSPECTION OF URANIUM FUEL SLUGS İN THE PROCESSING REFABRICATION EXPERIMENT

摘要

Methods of remote finishing and inspection of cast, radioactive, Sodium Reactor Experiment-type fuel elements have been investigated. Cold short frac¬ture, abrasive, electrical discharge, and ultrasonic methods of machining have been studied. Mechanical and optical methods of dimensional inspection were investigated. Subsurface porosity effects were analyzed;radiographic and ultrasonic techniques have been used.
