New Fuel Elevator

PaR Nuclear’s New Fuel Elevator lowers new fuel from the floor level of the fuel building into the spent fuel pool so it can be grappled by the Spent Fuel-handling Machine. The New Fuel Elevator usually mounts to the wall of the spent fuel pool. It consists of a vertically-mounted carriage and cable winch to hold the fuel rods, which travels on rails mounted to the side of the spent fuel pool. A cable winch drives the carriage up and down.
