OSTI ID:4098800
A charge-discharge machine was developed for the Bradwell CO/sub 2/- cooled reactor which has storage capacity for three channels of fresh fuel (24 elements), three channels of irradiated fuel, two fuel standpipe plug assemblies, and a control standpipe plug as well as associated handling apparatus; it can handle absorbers, graphite and steel specimens, and channel gags. The machine is in the shape of a vertical cylinder which traverses the reactor on a gantry. The operation of the machine and the fuel-handling procedures used in conjunction with it are described. Drawings and photographs are included. (D.L.C.)
