OSTI ID:4758473
The design and performance of the Hallam Nuclear Power Facility (HNPF) maintenance cell is given. The maintenance cell is located beneath the reactor room floor near the reactor fuel storage area. The cell provides facilities for the assembly, disassembly, inspection, and maintenance of radioactive reactor core components and the HNPF fuel handling machine internal mechanisms. The maintenance cell is shielded and equipped to maintain a controlled nitrogen or air atmosphere as required by cell operations. Radioactive component access is provided to the cell through ports in the cell roof. Equipment access is provided through a tunnel from the plant decontamination area. The major work load in the cell will be the assembly and disassembly of radioactive fuel elements. (auth)
