ABSTRACT:
A detection unit (20) is moved under water inside the fuel storage pond (15), over the entire height and in the vicinity of a wall of the cell (2). The detection unit (20) comprises at least one probe for monitoring the thickness of the material. The probe readings are collected from a region (22) situated above the pond (15) and these readings are compared with reference measurements. The monitoring process makes it possible to verify the presence of the neutron-absorbing material in the side walls (10) of the cell (2).
