Abstract
Procedure and installation for the handling of assemblies, irradiated fuels in fast neutron nuclear reactors, which comprise an open vertical axis tank, suspended in a thick-walled protection enclosure closed by a horizontal tile that crowns the level of a liquid metal cooling of the reactor core inside the tank, the procedure characterized by the fact that an irradiated assembly taken out of the core and which has a high residual power, without storage period inside the tank, is immediately removed from the tank each cuckoo, and in transferring this assembly under liquid metal to an external receptacle to the tank, transporting it in an arranged crucible to evacuate the calories released by this assembly, in removing the crucible assembly in the receptacle to place it on a low metal transfer mechanism liquid, in removing the assembly of this mechanism to bring it to an atmosphere with Controlled in a passageway-conditioning locker, in introducing the assembly in a waterproof case, and finally in enclosing the case in an armored transport tank.
