LATCHING DEVICES FOR NUCLEAR FUEL ELEMENTS
Patent
·
OSTI ID:4045889
A latching device for holding columns of fuel slugs in position in the channels of a reactor is described. The latch may be operated by automatic remote control with an accuracy sufficient to eliminate the possibility of jamming or other defective operation. The latch is simple and has high resistance to mechanical, thermal, and neutron stresses. The latching mechanism consists of a hollow body provided with latching fingers. The fingers are movable and are adapted to project from the body. The mechsnism also includes a slidable member which is movable longitudinally with respect to the body between two end positions, this member acts in opposite direction of the fingers and engages the side of the body for locking the fingers. When the fingers move in the reverse direction from the locked position the slidable member automatically releases the body. (N.W.R.)
