Abstract
An ultrasonic method for the detection of leaking fuel elements in the structure of the fuel assembly of BBЭP-1000 water-water power reactors is considered. The method is intended for the detection of water passing through a cladding flaw into a fuel element. The calculation and experimental study data for the acoustic channel of the method and the results of testing on radiated fuel assemblies from the Kalinin and Balakovo Nuclear Power Plants are given. The high sensitivity of the developed method is shown experimentally. The boundaries of its applicability are determined.
