A study was initiated to determine the precision with which surface temperature measurements could be made in irradiation capsules containing ceramic fuel. A thermocouple was considered to be positioned in a longitudinal groove prepared in the uranium oxide and metallurgically bonded to the inside surface of the stainless steel clad. A fuel capsule having a 3/4 inch outside diameter, designed as a segment of the EGCR fuel element, and operating with a heat generation rating of 27,500 Btu/hr/lineal foot was assumed. The finite difference approximation was employed to study both the grounded and the ungrounded types of thermocouple junctions. It was found that when a short dummy lead is positioned axially adjacent to the thermocouple junction deviations of about 118 deg F and 101 deg F are obtained for the grounded and ungrounded junction, respectively; in both cases the indicated temperatures are in excess of the undisturbed clad surface temperatures.
