Clinch River Breeder Reactor project fuel handling system
Description
The fuel handling system for the Clinch River breeder reactor project (CRBRP) is based primarily on existing technology, and in many respects follows the concepts developed for the Fast Flux Test Facility (FFTF). However, the use of recycled light-water reactor fuel requires special handling features for new fuel. Also, the direct removal of spent fuel from the reactor requires handling fuel assemblies with a decay power approaching 20 kW. Several unique system features assure that the annual refueling will be accomplished within the allotted 20 days
