HANDLING DEVICE FOR FEEDING CAPSULES INTO A NUCLEAR REACTOR FOR IRRADIATION
Patent
·
OSTI ID:4843853
A handling device is described comprising a brick of graphite provided with cells able to accommodate the capsules to be irradiated. It is introduced into an irradiation channel. A protective plug shields the channel entrance. To charge the capsules into or discharge them from the brick cell or to transfer a capsule into an other cell, the brick is held in a withdrawn position inside a channel in the protective plug. One of the cells is then in alignment with the end of the charging or the discharging chute or with one of the aspiration heads of a transfer box that is able to hold fast and to release the capsules in question. The discharging chute also works by aspiration. Remotely operated cables move rods to push the capsules out of the bricks and in front of the aspiration heads. (NPO)
