DEVICE FOR SUSPENDING SPENT NUCLEAR FUEL CASES

摘要

FIELD: means for storage of radioactive fuel assemblies and other radioactive parts. SUBSTANCE: device used for long-time keeping of nuclear fuel and other radioactive parts in special storage locations has bearing member one of whose ends mounts support with transfer assembly and opposite end, rocker arm with holes at its ends for attaching group of cases; two rocker arms disposed in horizontal plane and fixed to bearing member symmetrically to the latter. Each rocker arm has cylindrical and vertical slits arranged so that they are alternating in horizontal plane. Rocker arms are positioned in device in parallel or perpendicular to each other; bearing member is made in the form of shell or sometimes it may be designed for varying its length. Proposed device takes twice as short time for auxiliary operations to make cases ready for transport and for uniform division of case load between bottom and beams of storage location. EFFECT: reduced metal input and specific mass of suspension device per spent-fuel case. 5 cl, 5 dwg
