Design and development of an automated pellet inspection system for nuclear fuel pellets
(2015-04-01)
A prototype for inline, non-destructive inspection of uranium dioxide (UO2) fuel pellets
at production speeds of two pellets per second is presented. The system tests
the surface of each cylindrical ceramic pellet using ...
Design and development of a robotic crawler for CANDU fuel channel inspection
(2015-08-01)
For the design of a new robotic crawler drive unit for CANDU fuel channel inspection, a complete design and screening process was done in order to fulfil the objective of this research. A brief explanation of CANDU reactors ...
Localization of a robotic crawler for CANDU fuel channel inspection
(2017-06-01)
This thesis discusses the design and development of a pipe crawling robot for the purpose of CANDU fuel channel inspection. The pipe crawling robot shall be capable of deploying the existing CIGAR (Channel Inspection and ...
Automated inspection of sintered uranium fuel pellets
(2011-11-01)
A method of applying high-speed, non-destructive testing technologies to the inspection process of UO2 (uranium dioxide) fuel pellets is presented. The scanning process examines the surface of each pellet for correct ...
