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： Apparatus is disclosed for handling radioactive fuel assembly during transfer operations. The radioactive fuel assembly is drawn up into a shielding sleeve which substantially reduces the level of radioactivity immediately surrounding the sleeve thereby permitting direct acess by operating personnel. The lifting assembly which draws the fuel assembly up within the shielding sleeve is mounted to and forms an integral part of the handling apparatus. The shielding sleeve accompanies the fuel assembly during all of the transfer operations.

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, and lowering a nuclear-reactor component assembly involved in the 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.A TV camera and a light source and reflector are mounted on the gripper assembly at the lower end of the mast assembly. The source and reflector illuminate a selected part of the fuel assembly which is to be transferred and the camera is directed to this part so as to pick up an image of this part. The cooperative TV-receiver monitor on the console on the trolley is provided with cross hairs. The mast assembly is set by aligning the cross hairs with images of the heads of selected bolts on the image of the reactor component assembly.

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.

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： 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： A refueling machine (10, 100) within a nuclear reactor facility includes an outer stationary mast (12, 112) upon which are mounted a plurality of light sources (28, 128), inclined mirrors (36, 136), and television cameras (24, 124) for scanning a fuel assembly (32) for the existence of any defects or damage as the fuel assembly (32) is being withdrawn from the reactor core into the stationary mast (12, 112). In a first embodiment, the light sources (28), mirrors (36), and cameras (24) are mounted upon a sleeve (14) clamped about the lower end of the stationary mast (12), while in a second embodiment, the light sources (128), mirrors (136), and cameras (124) are mounted upon a basket-type framework (178) which is suspendingly supported upon the stationary mast (112) by support cables (158). A fixture (176) can support the framework (178) in an off-the-mast mode so as to permit remote-controlled maintenance or repair of the light sources ( 128), mirrors (136), or cameras (124). The mirrors (36, 136) may be eliminated and the light sources re-oriented so as to illuminate the reactor core and thereby facilitate the insertion of a fuel assembly (32) within the reactor core. Television monitors and tape recorder apparatus (168) are disposed upon the refueling machine trolley (150) for remote viewing of the scanned fuel assembly or viewing of the reactor core during an insertion mode of the refueling operation.
