Fuel Handling

  1. How many fuel assemblies are typically in the core?
    484
  2. You see a fuel handler with his hard hat on standing near the Fuel Pool. What do you do, and why?
    Coach them to move away from the fuel pool or remove their hard hat as the Fuel Pool is an FME level 1 area.
  3. Do we currently reuse fuel channels? Why or why not?

    • Bundles = 7 = odd --> even
    • Control = 7 = odd --> even
    • Rods = 4 = even --> odd
