    摘要: An apparatus is presented for removing the inner and outer keys from a support grid of a fuel assembly automatically or by mechanical methods. The apparatus removes a line of keys from a loaded assembly inserted into a grid through an opening section of the grid to deflect the springs. Both ends of the keys are engaged with the engaging members, and one set of keys are rotated in one direction while the other set of keys are rotated in the opposite direction. The springs are then released to press on the fuel rods firmly in place between the springs and the dimples in the grid cell. The keys are removed from the grid by clamping or holding the keys and moving the keys together with the clamping/holding device in the key axis direction by operating the driving device until the keys are removed completely from the grid.

    摘要: There are disclosed an assembling apparatus and an assembling method of a nuclear fuel assembly by which flaws or scratches to be formed on the surfaces of the fuel rods can be reduced. The fuel rods are inserted into the grid cells of the supporting grids under the state where the supporting grids are disposed in proximity to each other. Therefore, it is possible to remarkably reduce the fall-down movement of the tip portion of the fuel rod. Conventionally, the tip portion or lower surface of the fuel rod inevitably comes in contact with the grid cell of the supporting grid, so that the scratches might be formed on the surface of the fuel rod, which deteriorates the quality of the fuel assembly. However, according to the present method and apparatus, it is possible to avoid the interference between them so that the scratches to be formed on the surface of the fuel rods can be reduced remarkably.

    摘要: The purpose of the present invention is to provide an apparatus which can insert a plurality of hooks into slits of a strap constructing a grid and to hold springs so that the spaces of grid cells are enlarged simultaneously. The enlargement enables insertion of fuel rods into the cells. The apparatus comprises a frame member adapted to attach to the strap along the longitudinal direction thereof, a pair of clamping members engaged the frame member and extending in the longitudinal direction of the strap. Each clamping member can move along the longitudinal direction of the strap. The clamping member has a plurality of projecting hooks arranged in the longitudinal direction of the strap in a spaced relation to one another. The end of the hooks of one of the clamping means are bent toward a longitudinal direction of the strap, while the hooks of another clamping means are bent toward another longitudinal direction of the strap.

    摘要: The present invention is made to provide an assembling machine for nuclear fuel assembly, having a simple mechanical construction, in which the time required for inserting the fuel rod can be reduced.In the prior-art machine, the pull-in rod and its drive mechanism and the like are required to perform the operation for inserting the fuel rod into the supporting grid, thus, the mechanical construction must be complicated. Further, a relatively long time must be required to perform the operation for holding the fuel rod by the pull-in rod, which makes the whole working hours longer. In the machine according to the present invention, a drive mechanism is provided to drive a stopper, by which the regulation of the stopper for regulating the fall-down movement of the fuel rod can be released with ease. Thus, the fuel rod is fallen down by its own weight, so that the fuel rod can be inserted into the grid cell of the supporting grid which is supported by the supporting post. Therefore, the machine construction can be simplified, and it is not necessary to perform the prior-art operation for holding the fuel rod by the pull-in rod, so that the time required for performing the inserting operation of the fuel rod can be reduced.
