OSTI ID:4315676
From symposium on nuclear science and engineering; Bombay, India (13 Mar 1973). Fuel handling and storage In the proposed 100 MW Thermal Research Reactor are described. It includes (a) assembly, testing and storage of fresh fuel and experimental assemblies (b) installation and removal from the reactor (c) storage and disposal of irradiated fuel and test assemblies. Two vertical fuelling machines, one for heavy water cooled fuel elements and the other for demineralized water cooled experimental assemblies, are used for rod handling. Two flasks are necessary to prevent any possible degradation of heavy water during rod handling. The heavy water fuelling machine is designed to handle rods during reactor operation. For temporary storage of irradiated rods and experimental plugs, a storage block is provided in the reactor hall. From the storage block, the irradiated rods are transferred vertically to the water filled bays in the spent fuel storage building. Fuel section is separated from the fuel rod and shipped in a shielded container for fuel reprocessing. (auth)
