Abstract
1461731 Fuel elements WESTINGHOUSE ELECTRIC CORP 2 Jan 1975 [3 Jan 1974] 36/75 Heading G6C Apparatus for loading fuel pellets into fuel rods includes a base 24, 26 supporting a table 40 on which is laid a pellet tray 42 having grooves for holding a multiplicity of pellets. Multiple fuel rod claddings 44 are held by clamps 46 on the table 40 in alignment with the grooves in the tray 42 so that pellets from the tray 42 may be channelled onto the corresponding fuel rods 44. To effect movement of pellets inside the fuel rods without jamming, a number of electromagnetic vibrators 32 mounted on the base 24, 26 have brackets 36 connected to the lower surface of the table 40 and impart a reciprocating arc motion to the table for moving the fuel pellets longitudinally inside the fuel rods. The vibrators 32 (Fig. 6, not shown) include a solenoid having a plunger connected to a leaf-type spring such that upon energization of the solenoid, the leaf spring moves the table 40 rearwardly and downwardly, and upon de-energisation of the solenoid, the springimparts an upward-forward movement to the table which results in physical displacement of fuel pellets in the rod claddings 44 clamped to the table 40.
