    摘要: One variation of a method for deploying a nuclear reactor system includes: constructing a tunnel at a particular location; and installing the nuclear reactor, loaded with a first core assembly, within the tunnel. The method further includes, during an operating period: in response to detecting a high-energy demand period: triggering operation of the nuclear reactor at a first capacity, directing a first portion of energy output to a charging station for charging electric vehicles, and directing a second portion, less than the first portion, of energy output to a gas sequestration subsystem; and, in response to detecting a low-energy demand period, triggering operation of the nuclear reactor at a second capacity less than the first capacity, directing a third portion of energy, less than the first portion, output to the charging station, and directing a fourth portion of energy, exceeding the second portion, output to the gas sequestration subsystem.

    摘要: This invention relates to a pusher placed in a magazine for irradiated fuel elements which allows displacement thereof for the cutting operations. The pusher according to the invention allows the displacement of elements of small section in a magazine of large section. At the end of a cutting operation, the pusher applies its blank against the auxiliary holding clamp forming a continuous surface and the element is pushed by a blade, the body of the pusher being immobilized.

    摘要: A process for separating ceramic nuclear fuels out of metallic support mers or support member parts in which there adhere the nuclear fuels, especially subsequent to the burning down of the nuclear fuels in nuclear reactors. The ceramic nuclear fuels are washed off from the support member or carrier member part by means of a liquid jet which stands under a high pressure. The liquid jet is directed against the nuclear fuel, and the pressure of the liquid is set so high, that the nuclear fuel which adheres to the support member is completely removed. The liquid jet finds the transition from the ceramic nuclear fuel to the metallic support member material such that, even at a swelling of the fuel rod, and deformation of the support member part, there is achieved an efficient detaching of the nuclear fuel. The metallic support members or support member parts hereby remain intact and are segregated after the washing off of the nuclear fuel. Only the nuclear fuel fragments are introduced into the chemical solvent.
