Compaction and Shearing Device for Volume Reduction of the Spent Fuel Skeletons

摘要

PURPOSE: An apparatus for compressing/cutting waste matters of an used nuclear fuel assembly is provided to reduce a working area and prevent diffusion of pollution by transferring horizontally waste matters and compressing and cutting the waste matters. CONSTITUTION: A transfer member(10) is used for fixing and transferring compressed waste matters(50) toward a compressing/cutting member(30). The transfer member(10) is formed with a guide base frame(11), a transferring screw(12), a transferring step motor(13), a fixture transferring portion(14), and a discharge ram(15). The compressing/cutting member(30) is formed with the first compressing/fixing portion(31), the second compressing/fixing portion(32), a cutting portion(33), a support frame portion(34), a sensor portion, and a limit sensor portion. An oil pressure portion(20) provides a power source to the compressing/cutting member(30). A discharge portion(40) is used for discharging the compressed waste matters(50). The discharge portion(40) is formed with a collecting box(41), a vibration and alignment portion(42), a discharge transferring screw(43), and a discharge transferring motor(44).
