At that time, if there is no obstruction, the load related to the fuel assembly will be applied equally to the load cells 15 on each suspension rod 12, but if some of the support grids are removed during the insertion process as described above, If the lower nozzle gets caught in the support grid of an adjacent object or if part of the lower nozzle rides up on the pin of the lower core plate, the load acting on the suspension rod 12 on the affected side will be transferred to the other side. This will be immediately detected by the load cell 15 on the suspension rod 12. Furthermore, when a lateral force is applied to the suspended fuel assembly, the load on the opposite side decreases, which is also detected by the load cell 15.

On the other hand, if the fuel assembly is tilted due to the above-mentioned trouble, the suspension rod 12 that suspends it
The lower end hook 1 of the hanging rod 12 on the one-sided side, that is, the hanging rod 12 on the side with less load.
2C tries to separate from the locking edge of the upper nozzle B, but the coil spring 14, which is in a compressed state in the spring box 13 in the middle of the hanging rod 12, expands in response to the change in load and moves the lower rod 12b along the dotted line in Figure 5. It acts to pull up as shown by the arrow, and causes the lower end hook 12C to follow the inclination of the upper nozzle B so that it does not separate from its locking edge.

As described above, according to the present invention, as a handling device for suspending a nuclear fuel assembly, a plurality of suspension rods are each formed of an upper rod and a lower rod, and each upper rod and each lower rod are connected via coil springs. and connected each other, and a load cell was placed in the middle of each lower rod, so
Even if the fuel assembly is tilted when taking it in or out of the reactor core, the load cell can immediately detect this situation and correct the attitude of the fuel assembly to accommodate it. This prevents the fuel assembly from being forced into or pulled out, which prevents damage to the support grid and fuel rods.Also, even if the fuel assembly is tilted, each suspension rod can be attached to the upper nozzle. It follows well and does not deviate from it, which prevents the risk of under-preparation.
