Abstract
A method and apparatus of sensing obstructions in a tubular nuclear fuel rod or the like is disclosed. A nozzle is positioned to engage one end of the fuel rod in an air tight sealed relationship. A first gas flows through the nozzle and then into and through the fuel rod. The pressure is sensed and compared with a standardized pressure to determine any excess back pressure in the nozzle indicating an obstruction present therein.
