ABSTRACT
The development of the radiographic
examination method for SAFARI-1 Low Enriched Uranium (LEU)
dispersion fuel plates has been set-up to achieve
repeatable results during normal operational throughput
in the plant. A system was put in place where evaluation
of the fuel plates can be done successfully with the
help of equipment, films, film processing and film
evaluation for quality and sensitivity of the system to
detect defects.
The fuel plate geometry was
approximately the same as for the Uranium - Aluminum
alloy fuel plates that are currently being manufactured.
It was established that the equipment available in the
plant is capable to process the LEU fuel plates .
