Problem Statement
Design, build, and test a device for use in a “hot cell” environment that
is capable of separating 169 fuel elements from a hexagonal grid plate
assembly.

Task AnalysisFive Tasks
Securing of fuel assemblyPositioning/alignmentPin removalFin removalElement removal
6
Pin Removal (Design 1)Lever ArmPros
Mechanical advantage
Simple operation (MSM)
ConsPin and linkage
alignmentSize
7
Pin Removal (Design 2)Screw Punch
(Manual/Pneumatic)
ProsEase of use (MSM)Minimizes impactSize
ConsAlignmentVisibility
8
Fin Removal (Design 1)Gripper Rail SystemPros
Use of rod contourRange of motion
ConsElement spacingAdjacent row
alignmentAlternate gripping
9
Fin Removal (Design 2)Grip Fin Rail SystemPros
Balanced forceExisting surface
areaNot cantilevered
ConsRod/Fin integrityPrecise movements
(MSM)

Fin Removal (Design 3)Gripping Element
EndsPros
Gripping areaEasy access
ConsRow clearanceSlippingFin binding
11
Element Removal (Design 1)Waffle MakerPros
Elements secured rigidly
Use of existing fin holes
ConsElement spacingPositioning
elements (weight)
12
Element Removal (Design 2)Fin/Element
CombinationPros
Combines processesElements held by
contourCons
Element spacingBinding
13
Element Removal (Design 3)Push PinPros
Only hold one element
Minimal binding moment
Element spacing irrelevant
ConsRemoving push pinPin alignment
Element Holder
Push Pin
