  • Réacteurs nucléaires de fission
CONT

Les pastilles [de combustible] sont rangées en colonnes de façon à obtenir la longueur voulue de l’empilement (366 cm par exemple pour un REP [réacteur à eau sous pression] 900 Mwe [mégawatt électrique]) […] La colonne de pastille est introduite [dans les crayons], puis l’entretoise et le ressort de maintien. Enfin, le bouchon supérieur est serti, puis soudé. […] Le contrôle par rayons X permet de vérifier la conformité des objets présents à l’intérieur du crayon et la géométrie de la colonne combustible : absence d’intervalle entre pastilles, absence d’éclats.
