ABSTRACT:
The proposed manipulating means comprises a sealed housing, wherein a gripping means is arranged to grip a fuel assembly being transferred. The gripping means is coupled to a drive having a chain which is in contact with a sprocket mounted on an axle arranged in the sealed housing. The driving force of the drive is transmitted to the gripping means. The driving force is controlled by a force regulator mounted on the gripping means. The force regulator comprises two force transducers mounted on the sealed housing, and a spring suspension member installed in the gripping means. Some clearance is allowed where the drive sprocket axle is secured in the walls of the sealed housing. The ends of the axle extend outside the sealed housing and are coupled to sensitive elements of the force transducers.
