ABSTRACT:
The invention is directed to a connecting arrangement for interconnecting o widely spaced stationary end flanges corresponding to two conduits with an interconnecting conduit section. The two conduits lead to processing components in a large-area cell for reprocessing irradiated nuclear fuels and the processing components are mounted in racks in the cell. When remote-controlled maintenance is carried out and the racks are exchanged, it must be possible for the interconnecting conduit section to be removed simply and quickly by remote-controlled handling and replaced simply and quickly after the exchange is completed. For this purpose, the conduit section has two connecting end flanges lying in respective planes parallel to each other and with their flange engaging surfaces facing in the same direction. The stationary end flanges which have to be interconnected by the conduit section are also arranged parallel to each other and their flange engaging surfaces face in the same direction. The flange engaging surfaces of the two stationary end flanges to be interconnected face in a direction directly opposite to the flange engaging surfaces of the connecting end flanges on the conduit section.
