However, it is known that this technique requires fluorine to activate the inner surface of the cladding tube, and hydrogen gas is generated, resulting in uneven plating and uneven plating surfaces, which are known to cause problems. . For example, cladding with a copper barrier is said to be extremely effective as a measure to prevent stress corrosion damage of fuel, but at present the manufacturing technology has not been sufficiently developed, and they still suffer from the problems mentioned above. In other words, the main purpose of the present invention is to develop a technology that can prevent hydrogen gas from adhering to the inner surface of the cladding tube without using activators such as fluorine that have an adverse effect on the cladding tube, and that can provide even and smooth plating. It is about providing.

It is composed of an electrolytic solution feeding pump 14 and an electrolytic solution storage tank 15. As shown in FIG. 2, the cladding tube rotating jig 1 is composed of three rotors 19, one of which is provided with a driving force by a motor or the like. The rotor 19 is preferably made of a material, such as hard rubber, which is softer than Zircaloy and has a larger coefficient of friction. The electrolyte reservoir 5 is located below the cladding tube.

The contacts 7 and 8 are made of a material with excellent electrical conductivity, and are in continuous contact with the cladding tube and the plated part support tube 10 as they rotate. As shown in an enlarged cross-sectional view in FIG. 3, the plating section 9 is composed of a head section 20 and a brush section 16, and the head section 20 is further provided with an appropriate number of electrolyte leak holes 17. ing.

The brush portion 16 is made of a material with good water absorption, such as cloth. The brush portion 16 is fixed to the head portion by a suitable band, and its diameter is formed to be slightly larger than the inner diameter of the cladding tube. The plating part support tube 10 is made of the same metal as the metal to be plated, and is threaded over almost the entire length of its outer periphery.

The head portion 20 and the plating support tube 10 are screwed together, so that the head portion 20 is removable.

A pinion portion of the plating portion support tube driving motor 11 is connected to a threaded portion on the outer periphery of the support tube, and rotates and advances the plating.

One end of the electrolyte extraction tube 13 is inserted into the plating support tube, and the boundary portion is sealed so as to be slidable.
Meanwhile, the other end is connected to the pump outlet. Also, piping from the electrolyte storage tank 15 is connected to the pump.

When the cladding tube is set in the rotating jig 1 and a driving force is applied to the rotor 19, the cladding tube rotates in the direction A in FIG. At this time, negative electricity is continuously applied to the cladding tube by the contactor 7.
The plating part 9 is rotated in the direction B in FIG. 1 by the motor 11,
As a result, it moves straight in the C direction and is inserted into the cladding tube.

At this time, positive electricity is continuously applied to the plating portion by the contactor 8. After the electrolytic solution is sucked up from the storage tank 15 by the pump 14, it is sent into the plating section 9 through the electrolyte extraction pipe 13 and further through the plating section support pipe 10.

On the other hand, since a leak hole is provided in the head section 20 of the plating section 9, the electrolytic solution passes through the leak hole and soaks into the cloth brush section 16, thereby plating the inner surface of the cladding tube. At this time, since the diameter of the brush portion 16 is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the cladding tube 4, an appropriate contact pressure is generated between the two. Excess electrolyte is collected into an electrolyte receiver.

After plating is completed, the plating part 9 is passed through the lower part of the cladding tube,
Removing the plating part from the plating part support tube 10, that is,
Since the cladding tube is inclined and is not dripped with electrolyte, excess electrolyte does not contribute to plating, and even plating is possible. Next, since plating is performed while rotating the cladding tube and the cloth brush portion, the concentration of the electrolyte in the plating portion is always constant, making it possible to perform even and smooth plating. A further remarkable effect of the present invention is that after hydrogen gas is generated in the plating section, the motor 11 can be rotated in the opposite direction to pull out the plating section support tube 10 from the cladding tube. When plating, the cladding tube is rotated at a slight angle, and the brush is inserted while plating. Also, since the plated part is not covered with electrolyte, it easily scatters and does not stick to the plated surface and remain.

Furthermore, according to experimental results using the method of the present invention, it has been found that activation of the cladding tube with fluorine or the like is not necessary at all.

This is thought to be because the contact pressure generated between the cladding tube and the brush was appropriate, but in any case, the present invention eliminates the need to use fluorine, which is extremely undesirable from the standpoint of the integrity of the cladding tube. This is a big effect. As explained above, according to the method of the present invention, the cladding tube can be plated evenly and smoothly, and a reactor fuel that is resistant to stress corrosion damage can be obtained.
