Method for the non-destructive, qualitative and quantitative detection of an additive having a magnetic response contained in a nuclear combustible material (Machine-translation by Google Translate, not legally binding)

摘要

Non-destructive procedure for the detection and measure, in nuclear combustible materials, of additives that have magnetic susceptibility. It consists in weighting nuclear fuel, first in absence of a magnetic field and then in presence of it, determining the change of weight of the sample and comparing it with a calibration corresponding to known additions of the additive. The additive can be oxidized by gadolinio or plutonio and the intensity of the magnetic field is at least 2,500 gauss. (Machine-translation by Google Translate, not legally binding)
