Development of shearing technology in the Tokai reprocessing plant (TRP)

  • 1. Power Reactor and Nuclear Fuel Development Corp., Tokai, Ibaraki (Japan). Tokai Works

Description

TRP has reprocessed more than 500 tHM of spent fuel. Shearing operation in the TRP was often hampered by fuel debris. The removal of fuel debris from the shearing system required a lot of time. Difficulties in remote maintainability, as well as the fuel debris problem affected reprocessing operations in TRP. Hence, the refurbishment of the shear system was carried out from June 1988 to January 1989 to counteract the fuel debris problem and enhance remote maintainability. The refurbishment has been found very effective in improving the operations and maintenance. (author)
