Abstract
Cladding on reactor fuel elements is necessary in order to prevent reaction of the uranium core with the surrounding coolant. It may be necessary to keep the cladding between certain minimum and maximum values. Previous methods for determining cladding thickness included eddy-current and radiographic techniques. These methods sometimes fail and an X-ray technique was developed for these cases.
