Abstract:A procedure has been developed to determine the geometrical parameters of fuel assemblies (FA) by an ultrasonic pulse-echo technique used for all types of light-water reactor FAs. The measurement of geometrical parameters is achieved through the pairwise installation of ultrasonic transducers opposite the FA spacer grid faces at a distance of not more than a half of the transducer acoustic field near-region length such that the acoustic axes of the pairwise transducers are parallel to each other. The advantage… Show more
