Abstract :
The thermal neutron source SINQ will be used for the examination of irradiated nuclear fuel segments and highly activated samples. The corresponding installation, the transfer cask, which houses the samples, and the loading and handling procedures are described. First experiments to investigate the hydride distribution in fuel claddings are reported.
