Abstract

PURPOSE:To enhance the efficiency of measuring work, by arranging an adhered clad removing mechanism combining fuel channel box (CB) holding function to the CB insert upper position of an oxide film measuring mechanism. CONSTITUTION:A measuring apparatus 10 is constituted of a frame 11, a guide mechanism 12, a clad removing mechanism 13 and the oxide film measuring mechanism 14 arranged to said mechanism 13 on the lower part side thereof. The upper part of the frame is mounted on the curved part of the wall of a used fuel storage pool 15. CB 3 to be measured is inserted in the measuring apparatus 10 through the guide mechanism 12 by a fuel grasping apparatus. Subsequently, when CB 3 passes the removing mechanism 13, the clad adhered to CB 3 is removed by the brush pressed to the surface of CB 3 by a spring. Therefore, the oxide film measuring area of CB 3 inserted up to the position of the measuring mechanism 14 becomes a clad removed state. Next, an eddy current probe is pressed to the measuring area by a remote drive mechanism subjected to remote operation on a floor to measure the oxide film of CB 3.

The fuel channel box 3, which is a component of the fuel assembly 1 shown in Fig. 2 used in a nuclear power plant, is irradiated with neutrons for a long period of time in the reactor core and is used in a high-temperature, high-pressure steam atmosphere, so it is susceptible to oxidation. corrosion progresses on the surface. Since this corrosion has a great effect on the performance life of the fuel channel box 3, surface oxide film measurements are carried out to confirm the integrity of the fuel channel box 3. For combustion chamber means, a surface oxide film measurement method using eddy current is normally applied as a non-destructive inspection method. To eliminate this, crud removal work is being carried out.

[Operation] The crud removal mechanism has a structure in which the brush is pressed against the surface of the fuel channel box by an elastic body such as a spring, so that the adhering crud can be removed by the brush when the fuel channel box is inserted into the device. Since the crud removal mechanism is installed at the upper part of the fuel channel box of the oxide film measurement mechanism, the outer surface of the fuel channel box located at the Nt oxide film measurement mechanism is in a state where the attached crud is removed. In addition, in the crud removal mechanism, the brush is pressed against the fuel channel box by a spring or the like, so the fuel channel box is held in a constant state even when measuring the oxide film, making it possible to measure the oxide film in a stable state. can.
