Eddy-Current Measurement of Clad Thickness on Mark X MTR Fuel Plates

At the request of the Alloy Preparation Group, the Nondestructive Test Development Group investigated the feasibility of determining the clad thickness on Mark X MTR Fuel Plates. As the use of induced eddy-currents was considered to be the most promising approach, a prototype instrument and probe coil utilizing this principle was developed to measure clad thickness. The results of the investigation conducted with this instrument indicate that the clad thickness of this type of fuel plats can be measured to withing +- 0.001 in.
