On the other hand, for fuel assemblies with a rectangular cross section for light water reactors such as boiling water type and pressurized water type, non-contact measurement is performed using a TV camera, but in this case, the four side parts of the assembly are used. Is regarded as one plane, and the dimensions of each part are measured in that plane, so if this is used as it is for a cylindrical assembly, the measurement results will be inaccurate, and with this means When measuring the next side, the assembly must be lifted and rotated with a crane, and adjusting the rotation angle is very troublesome. In view of this, the present invention provides a cylindrical (or polygonal shape of square or more) fuel assembly that can be easily and accurately inspected in vertical and horizontal dimensions and appearance of the assembly itself and fuel rods by non-contact means. The purpose is to provide a device.

1. A base in a storage pool of a fuel assembly is provided, and an upright frame protruding from the storage pool and a support of the fuel assembly are provided on the base so as to face each other, and the upright frame is provided. At least a TV camera for dimension measurement is mounted on the front of the table so that it can be moved up and down, and a TV camera for dimension measurement is mounted horizontally movable with respect to the slide table, and a transmission case is provided on the holding table. On the other hand, in the center of the upright frame, an intermediate frame is provided so as to extend above the transmission case, and the upper and lower ends of the assembly to be inspected are rotatably supported by the intermediate frame and the transmission case. On the upper surface of the base and one side of the intermediate pedestal, a calibration scale for the horizontal electronic marker of the monitor TV for measurement and an upper and lower ruler with vertical scales for measuring the length of the assembly to be inspected are installed at a certain height. Both at intervals Installed at the same distance as the distance from the TV camera for dimension measurement to the inspection target assembly to form a survey device, and at least a monitor TV for measurement that receives video signals from the TV camera above the storage poolside The operation panel, the data processing panel for processing the measurement data, and the control panel for controlling the movement of the television camera and the rotation of the inspection target assembly are arranged. measuring device.
