ABSTRACT:
A tagging gas releasing element which is contained in a nuclear fuel rod to release a tagging gas for detecting a failed fuel. The element comprises an inorganic solid material holding the tagging gas therein. The tagging gas is composed of a rare gas, and is held in the inorganic solid material in an injected or adsorbed state.
