Abstract
In our lab, we have developed two different non-destructive measurement benches, in hot cell: MEGAFOX and VENDAUM. They are conceived to receive fuel rods, up to 4500 mm for the horizontal bench MEGAFOX, or up to 2700 mm, with section up to 40 mm for the vertical bench VENDAUM. On these benches, the movements of the measured objects in translation and in rotation are assured by step by step motors. This allows the acquisition of exactly tracked down non-destructive measures.
