Within implementation of the project to complete the construction of interim dry storage facility for spent nuclear fuel, a lifting device for fuel tubes (FT) has been delivered to ISF-2 construction area. This device will be used as a part of main equipment in the process chart of spent fuel preparation for storage, and it is intended for handling of empty fuel tubes and those filled with spent fuel assemblies.
Currently, the delivered equipment is being installed within the Spent Fuel Processing Facility (the SFPF building), upon its completion it is scheduled to carry out individual trials and comprehensive testing for confirmation of the FT lifting device operability and functionality in interaction with interfacing systems and equipment.
In addition, the installation of a holder slide within “hot cell” is commencing shortly. These activities mean that the works intended for completion of ISF-2 construction are shifting to a new stage which is the most important for project implementation.
