Abstract

Fuel assemblies poolside inspection (PSI) is an important test in nuclear power plants. In this paper, PSI technology is introduced, including its principle, inspection contents, and various methods. The research status at home and abroad is summarized. PSI technology usually includes visual inspection, dimension measurement and oxide film measurement. It is an important method for irradiation effect research, and has been successfully used for surface inspection, irradiation growth and oxide layer thickness test of fuel assembly, providing necessary basis for evaluation of irradiation stability and integrity of pressurized water reactor fuel assembly.
