FIELD: handling nuclear materials. SUBSTANCE: fuel assembly to be stripped is installed into stripping facility and locked in position. Then pole with part of central rod, upper fuel bundle, and central rod are sequentially separated. Ampoules are removed from guide cavities by vertical displacement and placed in container can. All these procedures are conducted remotely. Stripping process involves so-called dry method using caisson wherein water level is below notch. Pole with part of central rod is separated over lower part of tip below threaded joint and pins securing tip on central rod. Then upper fuel bundle is removed from central rod and placed in ampoule. Part of central rod is first separated and then removed while lower fuel bundle is left in ampoule. Operator resides in enclosed chamber and watches process by means of television set secured on machine-tool overarm. EFFECT: facilitated procedure, reduced stripping time, enhanced operator's safety. 2 cl, 9 dwg
