摘要:
A key member, a method for insertion and/or removal of the fuel rods in a nuclear fuel assembly using the key member and a method of disassembling the nuclear fuel assembly using the same key member are disclosed. The key member has first projections and second projections formed on the opposite faces of an elongated key body. In the insertion or removal of the fuel rods or in the disassembling the nuclear fuel assembly, the key member is inserted into the grid and rotated to bring the first projections and the second projections into engagement with the straps of the grids and the springs on the straps to thereby the springs are deflected in a direction away from the dimples opposing to the springs. In this situation, the insertion and removal of the fuel rods can be carried out. Further, in disassembling the nuclear fuel assembly, space required for inserting the key member into the grids may be ensured by subjecting prescribed portions of control rod-guide pipes and instrumentation pipes to cutting work and bulging the cut ends to move the cut end away from that of the opposing cut ends of the cut piece. The space may be formed by removing the control rod-guide pipes and instrumentation pipes after having formed slits in the pipes.

摘要:
In the nuclear fuel assembly, a plurality of plate-shaped straps are assembled perpendicularly to each other into a grid shape so as to construct a supporting grid providing with a plurality of cells each of which inserts a nuclear fuel rod. A cell-size inspection device which inspects the size of each cell of the supporting grid is constructed by a base, a movable plate, a plurality of pin gauges and a sensor. The supporting grid is mounted on the base, while the movable plate is provided such that it can relatively move with respect to the base in a longitudinal direction of the cells. The pin gauges are provided on the movable plate such that they can freely slide along the longitudinal direction of the cells. When the movable plate is moved toward the supporting grid, each of the pin gauges is to be inserted into each of the cells. The sensor senses whether the pin gauge is relatively moved from the predetermined position of the movable plate. By simply inserting the pin gauge into the cell, it is possible to inspect the cell size with respect to a plenty of cells provided in the supporting grid. Thus, it is possible to inspect all of the cells in an extremely short time, which remarkably reduces the time and cost required for performing the inspection process on the nuclear fuel assembly.

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.

The present invention relates to a pull-in rod type loader for loading fuel rods efficiently and conveniently from a fuel rod magazine to a fuel assembly. The control rod pipes and fuel rods are held in assigned grid cells, respectively termed pipe-cells and fuel-rod-cells, in each quadrant section of a grid. The control rod pipes are disposed in a quadrant so that the locations of the pipe-cells assigned for the guide pipes in one quadrant are symmetrical with respect to a central rotational axis of the apparatus. The grid cells and the pull-in loader are both aligned with respect to a central rotational axis. To load the fuel rods into the fuel assembly, only the pull-in rods need to be operated for every 90 degree rotation of the loader about the central axis, because the locations of the pull-in rods correspond exactly with the grid cells assigned to hold fuel rods. This type of loader does not require complex switching devices required in the conventional pull-in rod type of loaders, and the assembling operation can be carried out efficiently and quickly.

The present invention provides polypeptides that participate in the biosynthesis of the pladienolide macrolide compounds, DNA that encodes these polypeptides and variants of this DNA, transformants that maintain all or a portion of this DNA or variant thereof, and a method of producing the pladienolide macrolide compounds using these transformants. More particularly, it provides an isolated pure DNA that contains at least one region encoding a polypeptide that participates in pladienolide biosynthesis; polypeptide encoded by this DNA; a self-replicating or integrated-replicating recombinant plasmid carrying this DNA; a transformant maintaining this DNA; and a method of producing a pladienolide, characterized by culturing this transformant on culture medium and collecting pladienolide from this culture medium.
摘要:
To etch the back side of a wafer, the front side of the wafer is first coated with a positive photoresist to form a protective film. The surface of the protective film is hardened by heating, or by heating and ultraviolet curing. The wafer is then placed in a plasma etching apparatus with the hardened surface of the protective film in contact with an electrode of the etching apparatus, and the back side of the wafer is patterned by plasma etching. When the etching is completed, the front side of the wafer is separated from the electrode and the wafer is removed from the plasma etching apparatus. The hardened positive photoresist prevents the wafer from sticking to the electrode.

In an apparatus, object information and information on a transmission destination representing the transmission destination of image data are registered in correspondence with each other. An object in the image data is identified. The image data is transmitted to a transmission destination represented by information on a transmission destination corresponding to identified object information. The transmission status of the image data by a transmission unit is displayed on a display unit together with the image data.
摘要:
Circuit elements, such as aluminum interconnects, and a protective film for protecting these circuit elements are formed on a surface of a semiconductor substrate. Resist is formed covering the protective film. The semiconductor substrate on which the resist covering the protective film is formed is dipped into pure water so as to allow the water to filter into a gap between the resist and semiconductor substrate. Then the semiconductor substrate having the resist thereon is dried in high temperature air, and the resist is adhered to the semiconductor substrate by a sticking function due to the surface tension generated when the water is decreasing. The semiconductor substrate to which the resist is adhered is cleaned by a hydrogen fluoride aqueous solution.
