FUEL ELEMENT CHARGING APPARATUS FOR NUCLEAR REACTORS

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4684911

The charging apparatus described comprises an outer tube, a longitudinal aperture in the lower end of the tube, and a tubular duct extending within the outer tube. The lower end of the tubular duct can be displaced radially out from within the outer tube through the aperture in a required radial direction to be aligned with a selected fuel element channel. The lateral movement of the inner tubular duct through the aperture is achieved automatically by rotating the whole charging apparatus. A detailed description of the mechanical means for rotating the apparatus is given. (Gmelin Inst.)
