IMPROVED DESIGN FOR FUEL HANDLING ON SODIUM GRAPHITE POWER REACTORS

Operational experience at the SRE and evaluation of alternate methods resulted in the development of an optimized fuel-handling system for the Hallam Nuclear Power Facility Beactor. Increased reliability, easier maintenance, improved safeguards, and broader flexibility are some of the characteristics of this system, which features a manually-operated, shielded cask with reactor atmosphere seals that is usable in a conventional unshielded air-atmosphere building.
