Fuel Handling Drums with Drives and Equipment

The fuel handling drums with drives and equipment are designed to handle fast reactor assemblies.

The fresh fuel drum is designed to contain, store and heat the assemblies prior to loading into the reactor.

The spent fuel drum is intended to contain, store and cool down the spent assemblies.
