Abstract: The operating experience of EBR-II fuel handling is discussed. Over 15,000 subassemblies have been handled over a period of some 14 years. Removal and reinstallation of the transfer arm and the gripper were successfully accomplished. Improvements of sensing systems for remote operation have increased the reliability of the fuel handling process. Maintenance has been required occasionally due to normal sodium buildup. Experience has shown that simple mechanisms with adequate clearances are most successful. (auth)
