摘要 |
The present invention relates to fuel handling comprising lifting of fuel assemblies (4) and/or control rods out of/into a reactor vessel (1) in a nuclear reactor. The reactor vessel (1) comprises a reactor core (5) with a plurality of fuel assemblies (4) and control rods (11). A fuel pool (3) is arranged adjacent the reactor vessel (1). A cassette (12, 18) comprising a plurality of storage positions for fuel assemblies (4) and/or control rods (11) is arranged near the reactor core (5), whereupon fuel assemblies (4) and/or control rods (11) are lifted out of the reactor core (5) and arranged in the cassette (12, 18). The cassette (12, 18) is then transported to the spent fuel pool (3) for temporary storage. <IMAGE> |
