MANIPULATING MACHINES FOR NUCLEAR REACTORS

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4701361
A machine for discharging fuel elements from the core of a nuclear reactor is patented. The device is of massive construction and forms part of the gamma -ray shielding of the reactor. The machine consists of a fuel-element- storage chamber, a means for withdrawing a fuel element from the reactor and retaining it in the chamber, and a means for circulating a heat-transfer medium over a fuel element in the chamber and dissipating the heat generated by the fuel element. Details of the design are described and illustrated. (M.P.G.)
