A sipping test simulator for identifying defective fuels in MTR type nuclear research reactor

Also, this article describes the procedure and methodology used to perform sipping test on the fuel assemblies either in reactor pool or spent fuel storage pool. A unique ability of this simulator is analyzing direct spectroscopy files from experimental data of a real operating reactor. The sipping test simulator is a full-feature training curriculum in spent nuclear fuels storage technology with a PC-based simulator. This simulator is written in C# programming language for a Windows based computer. The simulator will teach everything needed to know for identifying the fuel defects using sipping test process. As learning the basics of sipping test step wise, a freshman operator will soon be able to accomplish all steps in practice.
