摘要： A refueling machine for inserting and removing fuel assemblies from a nuclear reactor including a pair of concentrically disposed stationary masts mounted on a movable bridge which spans the containment walls of the reactor. The bridge supports a trolley movable transversely to bridge movement thus providing an arrangement wherein the masts can be precisely positioned over a fuel assembly in the reactor core. A hoist mounted on the outer of the masts supports a vertically movable inner mast of a size sufficient to enclose a fuel assembly. An actuator tube inside the inner mast moves gripper fingers on the bottom thereof into engagement with the top nozzle of a fuel assembly prior to lifting it upwardly out of the reactor core.

摘要： Apparatus for transferring, not only the fuel assemblies, but other component assemblies including control-rod assemblies, thimble-plug assemblies, poison assemblies and the like during refueling of a nuclear reactor. The apparatus includes an outer mast for guiding and protecting the component assemblies which are transferred, an inner mast movable vertically within the guiding mast. The inner mast has grippers for engaging and lifting or lowering fuel assemblies. The outer mast has internal grooved rollers along its length. The inner mast is formed at oppositely facing channels held in a rigid assembly by plates to which the channels are secured. Opposite corners formed by the flanges and the webs of the channels penetrate into the grooves of the rollers and the inner mast is guided and held in position by the rollers. The apparatus also includes an elongated tube within the inner mast movable vertically relative to the inner mast. The tube has a grapple or gripper for engaging and lifting or lowering the component assemblies other than the fuel assemblies. The tube is penetrated by an actuator rod which locks the grapple to the component assemblies. The tube is driven upwardly or downwardly by a winch. The tube carries a primary set of lugs. The inner mast has a plate with an opening through which the lugs pass when the tube alone is driven upwardly. The plate carries a pivotal yoke which is movable between a first or closed position in which the yoke extends over the opening and a second or open position when it does not extend over the opening. In the closed position the yoke is engageable by the primary lugs so that when the tube is raised the inner mast is also raised. The tube also has secondary lugs. The inner mast carries a stop engageable by the secondary lugs when the tube is in a vertical position in which it has raised a component assembly within the masts. The engagement of the secondary lugs and plate serves to pull the inner mast into the guiding mast.

摘要： Refueling apparatus for a nuclear reactor including a bridge and a trolley. The bridge is moveable in tracks along the containment of the pit in which the reactor is immersed in water and the trolley moveable in tracks on the bridge at right angles to the tracks on the bridge. The trolley carries a mast assembly for engaging, raising, lowering a nuclear-reactor component assembly involved in refueling. The mast includes an elongated member for engaging control-rod and thimble plug assembly and a gripper for raising fuel assemblies. The elongated member is moveable upwardly or downwardly.The bridge, trolley and mast assembly each has a pulse generator which produces pulses in accordance with the movement of each. The number of pulses produced when the bridge, trolley or elongated member move to a position at a predetermined distance from a reference position is a measure of the new position of each.The mast assembly can be positioned over the reactor at positions whose location can be set in terms of number of pulses as coordinates of a Cartesian coordinate system. The axes of the coordinate system are parallel to the directions of motion of the bridge and trolley. The elongated member likewise can be positioned vertically at a height whose location can be set by a coordinate measured by its number of pulses. As the bridge, trolley or elongated member move, limit switches are actuated by each at a predetermined position in its track. The signal produced by actuation of each switch yields a reading of the position of the bridge, trolley or elongated member at the instant of actuation and this is compared with a computer entry of the position which the vehicle in question should occupy. The computer is programmed to make a compensating correction in the position of the vehicle or elongated member.

摘要： Refueling apparatus for a nuclear reactor including a bridge and a trolley movable at right angles to each other over a pit. The trolley carries a mast assembly for engaging, raising, lowering reactor component assemblies.The mast assembly carries electric cables and compressed air hoses from electric and air driven components on the mast and is rotatable relative to the trolley. The cables and hoses are passed from the mast assembly through a flexible cable tray which is oriented with its cable-carrying slot vertically in the configuration generally of an S. The cable tray is connected to the mast at one of its ends, is partly wound around the mast from that end and departs from the mast a predetermined distance at the opposite end. The tray remains fixed at the opposite end as it is wound on or unwound from the mast, so that the cables and hoses as they pass from the opposite end to electrical and air terminals as the trolley remains anchored at the opposite end.The winch and the reels for cables and hoses are mounted on the rotatable mast. On rotation of the mast, these reels with the parts that they carry and the air hose are carried along by the rotation. The fouling of the cables or hoses by the conductors is precluded.

摘要： A method of crimping a locking cap secured to the nut of a new split-pin assembly to the new split-pin to preclude turning of the nut and pin relative to each other. The method is practiced with apparatus including a crimping mechanism including crimping jaws having crimping pins face-to-face near one end. The jaws have external cam surfaces. The crimping pins are retracted and brought into crimping engagement with the cap to be crimped by cam followers which traverse the cam surfaces when actuated hydraulically through a C-frame connected to the cam followers. The crimping mechanism is mounted on a support which is moveable by a hydraulic cylinder between a retracted setting, where it is latched generally vertically, and an operating setting where it is positioned generally horizontally. The support is pivoted vertically from the retracted position to an intermediate horizontal position during a first part of the stroke of the piston rod of the cylinder and is pivoted horizontally in position to perform a crimping operation during the last part of the stroke of the piston rod.

摘要： A thimble grip fuel assembly handling tool (20) for transporting fully loaded fuel assemblies (52) is disclosed. The tool (20) comprises an elongated mast (23) slidingly disposed within an elongated cylinder (113), the cylinder being of a length less than the mast (23) such that the tool defines a mast fill-up position (126) and a mast full-down position (128). A cage (110) assembly acts to protect the gripping means (32) when the tool is transported in the mast full-up position (126). The gripping means (32) is comprised of a plurality of gripping members (49) which grip the inside diameter of control rod guide thimbles (50). The load path is distributed in the tool such that when the fuel assembly (52) secured to the gripping means (32) is raised, the weight of the fully loaded fuel assembly (52) acts to increase the gripping force on the fuel assembly. A number of indicators on the tool act to indicate to an operator: when the tool is in the mast full-down position; when the gripping members (49) have been fully actuated; and if there is any slipping of the gripping members within the fuel assemblies. The tool also includes a secondary gripping mechanism which engages the top nozzle of the fuel assembly.
