OSTI ID:4046877
A machine for handling objects, such as fuel elements, that are used in the fuel channels of a gas-cooled reactor and which may be adapted, having regard to its size, to provide an improved capacity, is described. It is used in charging or discharging fuel elements from a reactor. The machine includes a magazine provided with a number of chambers arranged in a plurality of circular series disposed so that a pant of any series lies within another, a housing containing the magazine, guides for moving objects along a predetermined path into and out of the housing and the chambers of the magazine, and means for rotating the magazine and moving the magazine laterally relatively to the housing so that the chambers can be brought sequentially into the predetermined path.
