Abstract

The radiation dosage of nuclear fuel handling machine of PHWR type NPP during normal operation is measured using semiconductor detectors. In order to predict and mitigate the damage of main components in fuel handling machine, caused by high irradiation, the radiation dosage exerted to the components by neutron and gamma ray is measured independently during one time of the fuel exchange, which is used far estimating the radiation dosage for one year. This result can guarantee the safety and economical efficiency for determining the replacement time of the high cost main components in fuel handling machine.
