Abstract :
The engineering and operational requirements for failed-fuel location systems in CANDU* reactors are constantly evolving and the effects of these changes on system design are discussed, with particular reference to the location system for the Bruce G. S. An experimental program to optimize the counting arrangement for the Bruce failed-fuel location system is described in detail.
