  • METHOD AND DEVICE TO CONTROL THE MOVEMENT OF CAPSULES CONTAINING COBALT MATERIAL LOCATED INSIDE CONTAINERS MADE OF NON-FERROMAGNETIC MATERIALS USING THE APPLICATION OF ELECTROMAGNETIC FORCES
    Publication number: 20240120119
    Abstract: An apparatus for removing irradiated Co-60 capsules from a plurality of burnable absorber rodlets. The apparatus comprises a solenoid that induces an electromagnetic flux into a Co-60 capsule and locks the Co-60 capsule in parallel with the apparatus. The apparatus is slideable along a longitudinal axis of the burnable absorber rodlet and causes the Co-60 capsule to overcome a plurality of forces exerted on it.
