摘要： The aim of the invention is to provide an aligning device (6) for fuel elements (1) with which fuel elements (1) of a pressurized water reactor can be aligned in a comparatively easy and quick manner. To this end, the invention provides that an aligning device (6) for fuel elements comprises an aligning body (8), which extends in a longitudinal direction and whose lateral faces that are formed from side metal sheets (14) can be displaced out of a position of rest in a direction that is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. The cross-sectional dimensions of the lateral faces of the aligning body in the position of rest are selected so that they are less than the corresponding cross-sectional dimension of a reference fuel element by a predetermined nominal value.

摘要： A pressure vessel having a removable closure head in a high radiation environment is closed by placing the closure head having a flange over and spaced from the flange of a pressure vessel body containing fissile material. The closure studs are installed in closure stud holes of the pressure vessel body flange. Transition nut members of hydraulic nut assemblies are threaded onto the closure studs. Hydraulic hoses are connected between the hydraulic nut assemblies and a pressure source. The pressure source simultaneously pressurizes the hydraulic nut assemblies to simultaneously apply a uniform force to the closure studs sufficient to seat the spaced apart closure head flange on the pressure vessel body flange and to elongate the closure studs. The hydraulic nut assemblies are locked in place over the closure head flange while the force is applied to the closure studs and the closure studs are elongated. The hydraulic pressure on the hydraulic nut assemblies is released while the hydraulic nut assemblies are locked in place over the closure head flange and the closure studs are elongated. The hydraulic nut assemblies may remain connected with the hydraulic hoses after the pressure vessel has been returned to on-line operations and is generating thermal power. The hydraulic hoses connected with the hydraulic nut assemblies may be vented while generating thermal power in the pressure vessel.

摘要： The invention relates to a remote access system designed to make the task of positioning, manipulation and/or maintenance of devices, which are difficult to access or in hostile environments, a much easier operation. The system comprises remote manipulation whereby a device (420), such as a bulb, may be moved from a remote access position (200) along a guide (300) to an enclosure position (100). The enclosure position may, for instance, comprise an area formed in the side wall of a swimming pool, such that, a lens (120) of the enclosure (100) is arranged, in use, to have the device (420) to one side of it, and, sealed from the device on the other side of the lens (120), there may be water. By providing an arrangement whereby the device (420) can be remotely positioned, the need for draining a swimming pool for the simple replacement of blown bulbs etc. is avoided.
