FIELD: nuclear engineering. ^ SUBSTANCE: proposed method primarily used for manufacturing spacer grids of VVER reactor fuel assemblies involves pre-compression of dynamometric clamp by welding gun electrodes prior to spot welding of shaped subchannels beyond subchannel field, evaluation of compression of welding gun electrodes by displacement distance of clamp jaws and force indicator readings, whereupon information about this compression force is processed in computer and passed to spatial displacement actuating mechanism of welding gun for conducting spot welding of shaped subchannels in assembled field when compression forces of electrodes comply with desired values or for ceasing spot welding when compression forces do not comply with desired values, this information being displayed on computer monitor. ^ EFFECT: enhanced quality of spacer grid manufactured by this method. ^ 1 cl, 3 dwg
