Catalogue of Poat Irradiation Examinations (PIE) Facilities
Responsible Officers: Victor INOZEMTSEV
The IAEA initiated the issue of catalogue within the framework of a Co-ordinated Research Programme (CRP) in 1992. Within this CRP, a catalogue was assembled which lists laboratories worldwide which are prepared to perform contractual PIE within hot cells on water reactor fuels and core components.
The Catalogue of PIE facilities includes of a complete survey of the main characteristics of the hot cells and their PIE capabilities. It is expected that the catalogue provides IAEA Member States with a useful summary of the PIE facilities which will allow potential customers to select the most appropriate laboratories.
The Catalogue first published in 1996 as a working material. The IAEA has converted the catalogue to a computer database and updated in 2003. The database is now being published on the internet at http://www-nfcis.iaea.org with other nuclear fuel cycle related databases.
