Abstract

Problems of the development and application of a high-capacity X-ray tomograph intended for testing bar-type fuel elements are considered. The tomograph created by the authors and designed for detecting and measuring flaws in welded joints in an automatic mode is briefly described, and its performance characteristics are presented. A technique for measuring flaws using reconstructed panoramic images, which is optimal for rejecting defective fuel elements under the conditions of a technological conveyor, is presented. The results of experimental tests of the tomograph involving automatic measurements of pore-type flaws in different detection modes are presented. The results of this study can be useful for other industrial applications of X-ray tomography.
