Abstract

L'invention concerne un appareil pour charger une quantité prédéterminée de pastille de combustible nucléaire dans des éléments combustibles nucléaires. Cet appareil comporte un arbre d'entraînement s'étendant à travers le carter au-dessus et transversalement aux rangées de pastilles de combustible nucléaire, cet arbre étant raccordé à un moteur situé à l'extérieur du carter pour créer un mécanisme pour charger les pastilles de combustible, et une première roue d'engrenage disposée sur l'arbre d'entraînement, une seconde roue d'engrenage disposée sur un axe agencé parallèlement à l'arbre d'entraînement et au-dessus des rangées de pastilles de combustible, une ligne d'entraînement continu s'étendant autour de la première roue d'engrenage et de la seconde roue d'engrenage. Application aux réacteurs nucléaires.
