摘要:
A fuel storage system for storing and drying nuclear fuel rods includes a vertically oriented capsule defining an internal cavity. A plurality of fuel rod storage tubes is disposed in the cavity. In one embodiment, each storage tube has a transverse cross section configured and dimensioned to hold no more than one fuel rod. Intact or damaged fuel rods may be stored in the storage tubes. After the fuel rods are loaded into the capsule, a lid is attached to a previously open top end of the capsule. In one embodiment, the lid may be sealed welded to the capsule for forming a gas tight enclosure. The interior of the capsule and multiple fuel rods contained therein may be dried together simultaneously via flow conduits formed in the lid that can be fluidly connected to a suitable drying process such as a forced gas dehydration system.

A plurality of first plate members 10 is stacked with long side ends 10LT1 and 10LT2 thereof abutting to each other. Plate member joint bodies 100 are formed by attaching connecting members 30 to side surfaces 10S of the stacked first plate members 10, and connecting the first plate members 10. Further, the plate member joint bodies 100 are so disposed to face each other, and the connecting members 30 projecting from the side surfaces 10S of the first plate members 10 are inserted into recesses formed at both long side ends of second plate members 20. A recycled fuel assembly storage basket 1 is thus formed. Recycled fuel assemblies are stored in spaces surrounded by the first plate members 10 and the second plate members 20.

Heat conductive fins (107) are welded along both sides of a belt-like member (105a) with a margin left along edges of the both sides, thereby to form a unit (105c). The unit (105c) is welded to a body (101) with the heat conductive fins (107) from the outside of each fin. Next, another belt-like member (105b) is covered over a gap between adjacent belt-like members (105a, 105a), and these members are welded from the outside. With this arrangement, there is no need to weld in a narrow and long space and the entire welding step is carried out from the outside, which makes it easier to assemble a cask.

La piscine de manutention d'un réacteur nucléaire à eau sous pression est équipée de dispositifs d'éclairage orientables (16). Chaque dispositif comprend un ensemble d'éclairage flottant (18) monté à l'extrémité d'un bras articulé (20), également flottant. L'extrémité opposée du bras (20) est supportée par un guide vertical (22) monté sur un bord (12) de la piscine. L'ensemble d'éclairage (18) comprend un projecteur émettant un faisceau F de lumière parallèle, au travers du fond transparent d'un boîtier étanche contenant également des moyens pour orienter le projecteur autour de deux axes orthogonaux. Un couvercle situé hors de l'eau permet d'accéder à l'intérieur du boîtier.

A control rod drive shaft guide (10) comprises an annular shaped body (12) to be inserted through a hole in a guide structure card (32) and having spring loaded arms (40) pivotally mounted in the body (12). The arms (40) snap outwardly to retain the guide in place. The guide has an exterior groove (18) to receive removal tooling, which tooling can engage release tabs (52) to cause retraction of the arms (401 to permit removal of the guide (10) from the card (32).
