Abstract

A tool is presented for stripping cladded jackets from fissionable fuel elements. The tool is a tube which fits closely around the jacket and which has two cutting edges at opposite sides of one end. These cutting edges are adjusted to penetrate only the jacket so that by moving the edges downward the jacket is cut into two pieces.

Pile Fuel Cladding Silo Deflector Plate Removal Project Using Long Reach Tooling and Suspended Abrasive Water Jet Cutting System - 17541

Conference Reekie, John; Callahan, Shannon

The Pile Fuel Cladding Silo (PFCS) at the Sellafield decommissioning, reprocessing and nuclear waste management facility in the UK was constructed in the late 1940-s and used for the storage of Intermediate Level Waste (ILW) arising from the Windscale Piles, Calderhall and Chapelcross Reactors until the 1960's. The PFCS is 21 metres high and comprises 6 identical tall compartments with the waste added to the silo via a charge-hole at the top of each compartment; each compartment is split by a central dividing wall that runs from the base of the silo to a few metres below the underside ofmore »« less
JACKETED URANIUM SLUG

Patent Ohlinger, L; Cooper, C

Fuel elements for nuclear reactors are described. Eacb fuel element is comprised of a solid cylindrical slug containing fissionable material enclosed within a fluid tight jacket of neutron permeable material such as aluminum. The jacket is provided with a flexible end cap and with a sealing member having a substantially fluid-tight fit within the jacket in tight abutment with the end cap and the end of the slug. A fluid passage is provided between the end of the slug and the cap whereby leakage fiuid is principally directed to the end of the slug. In this manner, any reaction betweenmore »« less
Hydromechanical planer with cutting and breaking heads

Patent Goris, H; Gunther, R; Ogorek, K; ...

A hydromatic planer particularly for mining materials in a mining seam is comprised of a planer housing which advantageously has a cutting and breaking head on each end thereof, each of which includes a substantially identical construction. Each cutting head includes a vertically arranged support member which is mounted on the housing of the planer by a parallel linkage so that it may be moved upwardly and downwardly under the control of an adjustment means such as a fluid pressure operated piston and cylinder combination. Each cutting and breaking head also includes a first substantially vertically arranged support member whichmore »« less
Method and device for cutting a bundle of irradiated nuclear fuel tubes

Patent Chaze, G; Cherel, G; Guilloteau, R; ...

A method and device are described for cutting a bundle of irradiated nuclear fuel tubes so as to cut the fuel into pieces of a suitable length for subsequent operation. The fuel tubes are moved from the storage pond by manipulating means to the store of the cutting machine. Means are provided for detecting the position of the bottom end of the bundle with respect to a cutting section in the cutter by means of a movable reference plate so as to enable the bundle to be moved to an operative position in which the first cut can be mademore »« less
A pneumatic transfer system for special form {sup 252}Cf

Technical Report Gehrke, R; Berry, S; Grafwallner, E; ...

A pneumatic transfer system has been developed for use with series 100 Special Form {sup 252}Cf. It was developed to reduce the exposure to personnel handling sources of {sup 252}Cf with masses up to 150 {micro}g by permitting remotely activated two-way transfer between the storage container and the irradiation position. The pneumatic transfer system also permits transfers for reproducible repetitive irradiation periods. In addition to the storage container equipped with quick-release fittings, the transfer system consists of an irradiation station, a control box with momentary contact switches to activate the air-pressure control valves and indicators to identify the location ofmore »« less
