Post Irradiation Examination of Thermal Reactor Fuels

摘要

The Post Irradiation Examination (PIE) facility at Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Trombay, over the past thirty years, has been used for examination of different types of experimental as well as power reactor fuels and for validation of fuel modeling codes. This article describes the facility and brings out the results of some of the examinations carried out on irradiated experimental MOX fuels and fuels of PHWRs.
