摘要

The present invention includes the following steps: a) loading the fuel rod (20) or fuel rod portion into the container (2), b) connecting one end of the container (2) to the flush gas conduit, c) the container (2 ) Is drained and flushed with flush gas (G), d) the end of the vessel (2) is connected to the bypass pipe (118) to form one closed gas circuit, in which absolute Circulate the heated gas (H) until it reaches the final value (Xmax) where the humidity does not increase any more, e) Separate the container (2) from the gas circuit, f) Next, connect both ends of the container (2). It relates to a method of encapsulating a fuel rod (20) or a fuel rod portion in a container (2) having a fluid tight closure. [Selection] Figure 1
