OSTI ID:4843872

The problems involved in continuous refueling with the reactor on-load are studied. The problems discussed in maintaining equal levels of irradiation throughout all the channels in the core are those of refueling capacity, charge and discharge channel arrangement designs, fuel element blow-out and fall-back, fuel element handling equipment design, fuel element temperature control, and remote control operation for fuel element handling.
