Description
A unique system was designed and constructed to receive and shear (chop) spent-fuel assemblies. Space limitations prevented direct use of most state-of-the-art technology. A major portion of the equipment had to be installed in an existing, contaminated hot cell. As a result, design for remote installation, as well as for remote operation, was required. The total system was successfully used to receive and shear six irradiated pressurized water reactor fuel assemblies, which satisfied programmatic requirements
