Tester for monitoring alpha contamination of fuel elements containing tandem loading module and unloading module of fuel elements, each having a fixed frame with cradles, position indicators of fuel elements, measurement module located between the loading module and unloading module, which includes the detection units of alpha radiation from the surface of fuel elements, pneumatic cylinders with position indicators of the rods for samples forwarding with the source of alpha radiation. The loading module is supplied with a movable automated carriage with cradles for forwarding fuel elements to the measurement module and then to the unloading module, besides the loading and unloading modules are provided with movable racks for placing the fuel elements on the cradles of the modules and carriage, and the samples with natural uranium isotopes are used as the source of alpha radiation for setup of the measurement module.
