Abstract

Método de detectar ultrasónicamente elementos combustibles defectuosos, mientras que están debajo de agua y espaciados dentro de un conjunto de elementos de combustibles, del tipo que se utiliza en los reactores enfriados por agua, caracterizado porque comprende las etapas de introducir un grupo de búsqueda ultrasónico dotado de un elemento transductor ultrasónico en los espacios entre los elementos combustibles; alinear el elemento transductor con un elemento combustible que se ha de examinar; excitar el elemento transductor para transmitir un impulso ultrasónico en el elemento combustible que se ha de examinar; y medir los ecos ultrasónicos reflejados.
