Abstract: A heat transfer approach to the calculation of residual power of used nuclear fuel (UNF). This application is a conceptual design of an alternative method for determination of residual power of UNF. Our approach is based on the heat transfer analysis of UNF in the transport container with a compact storage cask. To our knowledge, the proposed method for the calculation of residual power of UNF directly in the transport container is unique and can also provide an effective tool to verify the SCALE 6 in order to ensure the safe transport of the UNF.

Abstract: A dispensing device for use with a guide or shaft for dispensed objects. The guide consists of a fixed guide wall and an adjustable wall, the distance between walls being adjustable according to the width of the dispensed objects by means of an adjustable spreader. An escapement means is provided, comprising two apertures formed in the guide wall one above the other; on the side remote from the shaft there is arranged a reciprocable shifter with a groove and a hollow for each of the apertures, in each of the mentioned recesses there being movingly seated a selectively operable, movable locking element.
