Patent
·
OSTI ID:6412224
A method and an apparatus for manufacturing nuclear fuel rods by introducing elongated fuel pellets into cladding tubes. The pellets are arranged in end-to-end relationship on a support and are pushed axially from the support over a well defined break point and onto a downwardly inclined guide. The guide is disposed at a sufficient angle to cause the pellets to slide therealong under the influence of gravity. The cladding tube is disposed at the lower end of the guide in alignment therewith and in a position for receiving the sliding pellets.
