Reactor Fuel Elements TRIZ Cases

Independent clamps secure steam dryer lifting rods, limit rotation, and avoid vertical load transfer to reduce weld cracking and debris dispersion.

A movable support with switchable play and rigid clamping lets a lightweight drilling unit machine tube sheets accurately in radioactive environments.

A nuclear fuel shipping cask uses a removable liner with an adjustable top shear plate to secure various fuel assembly geometries.

Pre-assembled channeled fuel bundles ship in a single unit with integrated restraints, eliminating separate component handling and on-site assembly time.

A welding rail creates a dedicated inspection space between adjacent metal sheets to ensure full penetration butt welds.

Roller interface replaces sliding rails to prevent surface scratching and radiation exposure during automated canister transfer operations.

Segmented drums with UHMWPE pads guide deployment, maintaining verticality despite the positioning precision loss caused by extended mast strokes.

High packing density design consolidates spent fuel rods in dry storage canisters without neutron absorbers.

Carbon foam infiltration converts silicon precursors into near net-shaped silicon carbide structures.

Aldoximes replace hydrazine to reduce reagent consumption while maintaining phase stability in PUREX processes.

Segmented canisters eliminate costly facility upgrades by enabling direct dry storage transfer without exposing bare fuel rods.

A laser welding apparatus captures spacer grid images simultaneously during the process using a beam splitter and image sensor.

A robotic arm handles nuclear fuel assemblies using a pivoting grab head and telescopic extension mechanism.
