Fuel-handling facilities include means for underwater removal of spent fuel assemblies and control rods and a system for transferring such spent assemblies from inside the vapor container to the external storage pit. New fuel, as it is received, is stored in a dry vault adjacent to the pit. The safe continuity of underwater transfer of fuel and control rods is maintained by an inclined transfer chute between the shield-tank cavity and the spent-fuel transfer pit. During refueling operations, the reinforced concrete, stainless- steel-lined shield-tank cavity is filled to a depth of approximately 25 ft. with borated water.
