The objectives of this program are to conduct the development and testing necessary to produce reliable and adequate handling devices for core components for an LMFBR plant utilizing under-the-shield refueling and reactor vessel cover rotating plugs. Component performance in the following three specific areas of concern will be investigated: (1) a reliable rising stem, vertical motion, in-vessel transfer machine (IVTM) for use in an under-the-shield refueling system with multiple rotating reactor vessel covers, (2) and ex-vessel transfer machine (EVTM) for off-line removal of fuel from the reactor in-vessel storage, and (3) ancillary fuel handling equipment, such as auxiliary handling machines (AHM), floor valves, and core component service equipment.
