Measurement of nuclear fuel assembly’s bow from visual inspection’s video record

The bow of the nuclear fuel assembly is a well-known phenomenon. One of the vital criteria during the history of nuclear fuel development has been fuel assembly’s mechanical stability. Once present, the fuel assembly bow can lead to safety issues like excessive water gap and power redistribution or even incomplete rod insertion (IRI). The extensive bow can result in assembly handling and loading problems. This is why the fuel assembly’s bow is one of the most often controlled geometrical factors during periodic fuel inspections for VVER when compared e.g. to on-site fuel rod gap measurements or other instrumental measurements performed on-site. Our proposed screening method uses existing video records for fuel inspection. We establish video frames normalization and aggregation for the purposes of bow measurement. The whole process is done by digital image processing algorithms which analyze rotations of video frames, extract angles whose source is the fuel set torsion, and reconstruct torsion schema. This approach provides results comparable to the commonly utilized method. We tested this new approach in real operation on 19 fuel assemblies with different campaign numbers and designs, where the average deviation from other methods was less than 2 % on average. Due to the fact, that the method has not yet been validated during full scale measurements of the fuel inspection, the preliminary results stand for that we recommend this method as a complementary part of standard bow measurement procedures to increase measurement robustness, lower time consumption and preserve or increase accuracy. After completed validation it is expected that the proposed method allows standalone fuel assembly bow measurements.

This paper presents geochemical data on sedimentary rocks from the Upper Cretaceous to Lower Eocene formations of the Pieniny Klippen Belt (Western Carpathians, Slovakia). On the basis of geochemical analyses of 15 samples, the plate tectonic setting of sediment accumulation and paleodepositional environment were reconstructed, which may help to understand a part of evolution of this orographically remarkable zone. Four main rock groups were identified within the samples studied: fine- to medium-grained sandstones, siltstones or claystones, pebbly/sandy mudstones and shales. In the Al2O3*5-SiO2-CaO*2 ternary diagram, they displayed developed sand and mud flat characteristics with light rich clay content. According to high-silica and lowsilica multi-dimensional diagrams, the investigated rocks might have originated from a continental collision tectonic setting. The Zr/Rb values (0.76–6.47) mirrored a fluctuation of hydro energy during deposition of the sediments studied. Paleoclimate indexes, such as the C-value (0.03–0.49) and Sr/Cu (3.25–202.27), revealed arid to semiarid climatic conditions during deposition of the studied sediments. In addition, the chemical data were used to constrain paleoredox conditions of the depositional environment, which proved that these sediments had been deposited mainly beneath the oxic water column with relatively low paleoproductivity, as evidenced by P/Ti with an average of 0.13 and Ba/Al with an average of 34.30.
