  • MEASURING HEAD AND MEASURING ASSEMBLY FOR A NUCLEAR FUEL ROD
    Publication number: 20050104586
    Abstract: A measuring head is used in measuring an assembly part of a nuclear facility, such as a fuel rod, a fuel assembly box, or a spacer of the fuel assembly. The measuring head is capable of augmenting a comparatively large data base representing the overall aging state of the fuel elements in a simple manner and within a short measuring time. The measuring head has a probe tip on the sensor housing and a layer thickness measuring probe is integrated into said probe housing, said measuring probe working according to the eddy current principle. The contour or the diameter of the fuel rod can be determined by the measured deflection of the probe.
    Type: Application
