Abstract
The results of investigations of the electrical resistance of polycrys talline uranium and of ultrasonic waves scattered in it are presented. These serve as a basis for eddy-current and ultrasonic instruments fo r nondestructive testing employed in Russian enterprises which manufac ture fuel elements for industrial uranium-graphite nuclear reactors. T he operating principles and some results obtained with these instrumen ts are described.
