High-Temperature Gas-cooled Reactor steam-cycle/cogeneration lead plant fuel handling, storage, and shipping: system design description

Technical Report ·

OSTI ID:5693080

The fuel handling, storage, and shipping system is comprised of those subsystems, components, and structures that facilitate the following activities: fuel removal and replacement in the reactor core; new (fresh or recycle) fuel receipt, handling, and storage; and irradiated fuel handling (out of core), storage, packing, and shipping. Fuel removal and placement in the reactor core is accomplished with the reactor shutdown and the primary coolant at approximately atmospheric pressure. The system is capable of accomplishing the in core fuel handling activities in a reliable manner commensurate with the plant availability requirements. Specifications are presented.
