摘要： To inspect the integrity of pressurization holes in nuclear fuel rod final end plugs, quality assurance apparatus includes an adapter providing a test chamber into which an end plug is inserted. Instrument gas is introduced into the test chamber through an inlet port for flow to the atmosphere through the pressurization hole. A mass flow meter measures the gas flow through the pressurization hole to determine if it is capable of supporting requisite pressurization of a nuclear fuel rod when the end plug is assembled thereto.

摘要： A high pressure laser welding method and apparatus enables seam welding of a nuclear fuel rod at hyperbaric pressure. In an automatic process, a loaded fuel rod and an upper end plug are mated within a sealable weld box. A pressure within the weld box is controlled relative to a pressure within the fuel rod, and a laser assembly welds the seam at hyperbaric pressure. Helium flowing through a laser window nozzle during welding prevents soot contamination of the laser window glass and prevents formation of ionic plasma. The upper end plug fuel rod welding operation is thus reduced to a single step and eliminates inspection related tasks with respect to a sealed hole.

摘要： A TIG welding system for controlling the weld shape for the seal welding of a small pressurization hole in the end plug of nuclear fuel rods. The controlled shape of the seal weld enables improved ultrasonic detection capabilities. The system achieves the desired weld shape by controlling the pressure differential between the interior and exterior volumes of the fuel rod. The weld box pressure is decreased in accordance with Boyle's law while the weld material for sealing the hole is molten. The system uses an output from the weld electronics as an input to a programmable logic controller ("PLC"). After a programmed time delay, the PLC outputs a signal to a solenoid valve to open a "ballast" volume. The expansion of gas from the weld box into the ballast volume causes a sudden drop in pressure to a level below the pressure inside the fuel rod. As a result of this pressure differential, the molten weld material forms a concave weld upon solidification.
