The function of the Rod Scanning Unit is to check for alpha contamination on the fuel rods, to inspect the pellet stacking inside the fuel rods, and to assess pellet-to-pellet variations in the rods. After receipt and identification of a rod tray, each rod is sequentially inspected. Each rod passes successively through three measuring cells :Gamma transmission cell for inspecting internal pellet stacking. Alpha counting cell for performing an alpha contamination check. Active gamma scanning cell for assessing plutonium content. 1, record 1, English, - active%20gamma%20scanning

[...] des techniques spécifiques sont mises en œuvre : radiographie, radiographie numérique, contrôle par ultrasons pour vérifier la santé interne de soudures, gammascanning (actif ou passif), gammagraphie, et autres pour vérifier le contenu des crayons, test d'étanchéité à l'hélium. Le gammascanning actif consiste à activer légèrement la matière fissile (235U) à l'aide d'une source de neutrons puis à en mesurer l'effet par comptage du rayonnement gamma rétrodiffusé qui est proportionnel au contenu en 235U, on vérifie ainsi l'enrichissement mais aussi l'absence d'anomalies dimensionnelles, d'éclats ou autres manques de matière fissile. 1, record 1, French, - gammascanning%20actif

La spectrométrie Mössbauer est une méthode permettant de déterminer le degré d'oxydation et l'environnement d'éléments chimiques [Un] échantillon est bombardé par un rayonnement gamma (photons) dont on fait varier l'énergie autour d'une énergie de transition nucléaire […] Un détecteur se trouve derrière l'échantillon. Lorsque l'énergie du rayonnement incident correspond à l'énergie de transition électronique, le rayonnement est absorbé, et donc l'intensité collectée est faible. Il s'agit donc d'une spectrométrie d'absorption. Le spectre Mössbauer est constitué d'un ensemble de multiplets dont la forme et la position (déplacement chimique) est à la fois caractéristique du nombre d'oxydation, mais aussi de la nature et de la géométrie des plus proches voisins de l'élément chimique étudié. 2, record 2, French, - spectre%20M%C3%B6ssbauer

A technique proposed as an alternative to computed tomography is Compton scatter tomography, where an irradiating beam(e. g. of gamma rays) is introduced into a cross-section of the body and the radiant energy scattered from this beam(the amount of radiant energy that is scattered being a function of the density of the tissues through which the beam passes in the body) is detected and recorded. 3, record 5, English, - Compton%20scatter%20tomography

Since Collins et al. first reported in 1963 that orthoiodohyppurate is taken up by the parenchyma, much progress has been made in isotope techniques. Advances have been made in the performance of the gamma cameras and the associated data processing. A major step was the introduction of tracers for studying renal function. 1, record 7, English, - orthoiodohyppurate

Depuis la publication du travail de Collins J.J. et coll sur la rétention parenchymateuse de l'ortho-iodohyppurate en 1963, les techniques isotopiques ont considérablement évolué. Les performances des gamma-caméras et la puissance des systèmes informatiques associés ont beaucoup progressé et surtout de nouveaux traceurs utilisables pour l'étude de la fonction rénale sont apparus et ont été utilisés en clinique. 1, record 7, French, - ortho%2Diodohyppurate
