Zusammenfassung:	EN UN PRIMER APARTO DE SOLDADURA AUTOMATICA, UN TRASPORTADOR LLEVA SUCESIVAMENTE LOS TUBOS DEL REVESTIMIENTO DEL COMBUSTIBLE NUCLEAR (43) A UNA ESTACION DE SOLDADURA (100) PRIMERO DONDE SE SUELDA UN CIERRE AL EXTREMO DE CADA TUBO (DE 108). LUEGO, EL TRANSPORTADOR LLEVA LOS TUBOS SUCESIVAMENTE A UNA ESTACION DE ENFRIAMIENTO (200) DONDE LAS SOLDADURAS SE ENFRIAN, LUEGO A UNA ESTACION DE LECTURA (220) DONDE SE LEE UN NUMERO EXCLUSIVO DE CIERRE DE TUBO, Y LUEGO A UNA SERIE DE ETAPAS DE INSPECCION (230, 28, 320) EN LAS QUE SE EXAMINAN AUTOMATICAMENTE LAS CARACTERISTICAS INTERNAS Y EXTERNAS DE LAS SOLDADURAS. A FINES DE REGISTRO, LOS DATOS ASI OBTENIDOS SE CORRELACIONAN CON EL NUMERO DE SERIE Y LAS SOLDADURAS SE PRUEBAN NUEVAMENTE CON NORMAS DE CALIDAD ESTANDAR, SEPARANDOSE LUEGO LOS TUBOS EN LOTES ACEPTADOS O RECHAZADOS. In an automated first weld apparatus, a transporter (44) conveys nuclear fuel cladding tubes (43) successively to a welding station (100) where a separate end plug (from 108) is welded to the open end of each tube. Thereafter, the transporter indexes the tubes successively through a cooldown station (200) where the weld is cooled, to a reader station (220) where a unique end plug serial number is read, and thence to a succession of inspection stations (230,280,320) where the internal and external weld characteristics are automatically examined. The resulting inspection data is correlated (28) with the associated serial number for record purposes and tested against quality assurance standards pursuant to sorting the tubes into accepted and rejected lots.
