照射された高速炉用燃料ピン被覆管の健全性を、非破壊で確認するための技術開発を進めてきた。本試験では、高速実験炉「常陽」で照射した燃料ピンを対象に、被覆管内面腐食の確認を目的として渦電流探傷を行い、同技術を用いた腐食探傷の可能性を検討した。非照射模擬燃料被覆管を対象とした腐食探傷の結果、周波数32kHzを用いて30$$mu$$m程度の腐食箇所を探傷できる結果を得た。また渦電流信号値と被覆管肉厚の間には相関があり、被覆管肉厚が減少すると信号値が大きくなる傾向を示した。「常陽」で照射した燃料ピンの腐食を探傷した結果、腐食が最大でも14$$mu$$mと小さく、渦電流信号から腐食箇所を確認することはできなかった。しかし、本試験では被覆管の物理的変化が、信号に影響を及ぼす可能性があることが示唆された。

An eddy current testing (ECT) technique was developed to check the soundness of irradiated fuel pins non-destructively. Here, the technique was applied to detect the decrease in wall thickness of the fuel pin cladding due to corrosion occurrence which had been irradiated in the experimental fast reactor Joyo. Dummy cladding provided with simulated inner corrosion was used to ascertain the technique applicability. This test confirmed that the decrease in wall thickness with simulated inner corrosion exceeding 30 $$mu$$m in depth could be detected. In the case of irradiated fuel pins, the decrease in wall thickness due to corrosion occurrence was not detected because the depth was too small; the maximum depth of the inner corrosion was 14 $$mu$$m. In addition, it should be noted that the physical changes on the cladding due to irradiation might have an influence on the signal.
