AB - LE T TE R S APPLICATION OF COMPUTER TOMOGRAPHY FOR FUEL-ELEMENT INSPECTION 1~. Yu. Vasil'eva and A. N. Maior0v UDC 621.039.546 : 621.039.548 The technological process of fabricating rod-type fuel elements includes a number of operations of qual- ity control and inspection of a number of parameters of the internal structure of the product. With traditional industrial radiography the two-dimensional image of the macrostructure of a product makes it difficult to in- terpret the results. Because of the complexity of the technique and the apparatus involved, stereoradiography has not hitherto found widespread application [1]. New possibilities are opened up by tomography, which pro- duces sectional images of the internal macrostructure of the product. The method of transverse transmission computer tomography developed in 1971-1973 has been extensively used in medicine [2-5]. In this method the object is irradiated by a beam of radiation at various angles and then recording the information obtained and processing it by computer [ 3, 6]. This method makes it possible to obtain fundamentally new information about the internal structure of the object, both quantitative information and information shown on a display [3-5]. Radiographic data obtained by repeated x-rayingof a rod-type fuel element with the element
