照射済燃料集合体の構造変化を観察するため、X線CT技術を用いた非破壊検査技術を開発した。X線CTシステムでは、燃料集合体から放出される$$gamma$$線の影響を低減するために12MVX線パルス発生と検出タイミングをシンクロさせている。本技術を照射済燃料集合体の試験に適用することで、燃料集合体の横断面画像の取得に成功した。この技術は、いくつかの破壊試験の代わりとして適用することが可能であり、照射後試験で発生する放射性廃棄物の低減にも貢献する。

In order to observe the structural change in the interior of irradiated fuel assembly, the non-destructive post irradiation examination technique using X-ray computer tomography (X-ray CT) was developed. In this X-ray CT system, the 12 MeV X-ray pulses were used in synchronization with the switch-in of the detector to minimize the effects of the $$gamma$$ ray emissions from the irradiated fuel assembly. This method was applied to a fuel assembly irradiated in the experimental fast reactor JOYO, and images were successfully obtained of transverse cross sections at different heights of fuel assembly along its axis for the first time in the world. This X-ray CT technique can substitute non-destructive PIEs for a number of destructive PIEs. This has a great advantage to enhance efficiency of PIE and greatly reduces radioactive wastes generated during PIE.
