OSTI ID:4159759
A mechanical handling device was invented for loading and unloading reactors of the solid fuel type. The device comprises a tube with associated pivotal arms arranged in such a way that, when it is inserted into the charge holes of the pressure vessel, the arm nearest the fuel channels is vertical. The location of the tube over each channel is facilitated by raised edges around the channels, and a grab in the tube is provided for holding the fuel. The advantages of this method of loading and unloading are that the possibility of fuel damage by passing around sharp corners is eliminated and the required number of charge holes is reduced.
