    摘要: A method for ultrasonically inspecting a closely packed regular array of mutually parallel, uniformly sized and spaced rigid rods surrounded by a thin-walled metallic channel and immersed in a compressible medium. The method utilizes the properties of coherently scattered ultrasonic waves to identify rods which are defective, out of position or missing. A plane, monochromatic ultrasonic wave is transmitted toward the array of rods on one side thereof. Then an interference pattern produced on an opposing side of the array is detected. This interference pattern is the result of multiple scattering and diffraction of the plane ultrasonic wave during propagation through the array of rods. When the wavelength is comparable with the rod diameter and the rods are not too close together, scattering results in spatial relationships that produce an unusually large amount of wave penetration through the array in certain directions relative to the incident propagation vector. This is akin to Bragg scattering and is dependent on direction, wavelength, and details of the cylindrical array dimensions.

    摘要: A process and a system for detecting defective nuclear fuel assemblies in situ. The system includes two basic subsystems. The first subsystem is a sample collection system consisting of a hood (2) placed over the fuel. A technique whereby a vacuum is drawn across a submerged nozzle of a degas tank (14) is used to draw up the sample of fluid out of a fuel assembly (4). The second subsystem determines the amount of Kr-85 radio-isotope contained in the fluid sample. This information is used to determine whether the fuel assembly contains a defective, i.e., leaking, fuel rod. The measurement values for Kr-85 in the fluid sample extracted from the fuel assembly are compared to the measurement values for Kr-85 in fluid samples taken from the reactor pool prior to fuel assembly testing and fluid samples taken from non-leaking control cells, the latter values representing the background to which the subject fuel assembly is compared. Based on this comparison, a determination is made concerning whether the subject fuel assembly is defective.

    摘要: A drive system for propelling first and second drive trucks (18,20) of a bridge (12) includes a first motor (46 l ) and transmission (32 l ) for driving the first truck (18), an independent second motor (46 r ) and transmission (32 r ) for driving the second truck (20) and a controller (40) for coordinating the first (46 l ) and second motors (46 r ) for maintaining differential transverse travel between the first and second drive trucks (18,20) to less than a predetermined maximum. A first closed-loop (82 l ) controls velocity of the first drive truck (18), a second closed-loop (82 r ) controls velocity of the second drive truck (20), and an auxiliary closed-loop (90) senses a difference in travel of the first and second drive trucks (18,20) and adjusts performance of at least one of the first and second closed-loops (82 l , 82 r ).

    摘要: A refueling mast for a reactor complex includes nested generally cylindrical tubes (132, 134). The inner tube has vertical grooved tracks formed therein. The outer tube has a guide roller (224) mounted thereon with grooves which mate with track grooves of a respective track on the adjacent inner tube. Track grooves are cold formed moving a roller die tool up and down the inner tube, while increasing pressure on the incorporated die rollers. This process flattens the inner tube where the tracks are being formed. The grooved tracks and the associated flattening provide the torsional rigidity required on the mast tubes for precise positioning and orientation of fuel elements.
