Abstract
An electromagnetic induction detector (9) is used to check the weld (6) of a plug (3) to a nuclear fuel cladding (2) still containing a spring (5). A weld made using an excessive energy weakens the metallurgical structure of the spring (5) which may reduce the electromagnetic coupling and the signal recorded by the detector (9). A comparison between the peak values of the signal and the plateau value of the signal gives a criterion for estimating the quality of the fuel rods (1).
