Research output: Patent

Abstract

Described herein are systems and methods for imaging the top surface of a fuel pellet to observe the formation of radial cracks employing resistive heating to volumetrically heat the fuel pellet, but instead of passing the current axially through the pellet, electrodes were placed on the sides of a single pellet to pass the current transversely across the pellet allowing for an unobstructed view of the top surface of the pellet.
