Pickering NGS Units 1 and 2 LSFCRP: Fuel Channel Reinstallation Process

Abstract

Replacement of fuel channels at Ontario Hydros' Pickering reactor units 1 and 2 is currently in progress. In this replacement process, the east end fitting at each lattice site is left in place. The west end fitting, the pressure tube and the garter springs are removed from the west side and replaced from the same end. This paper describes the reinstallation of fuel channel components and the tooling associated with this process.
