BOX OF UNLOADING MIXED NUCLEAR FUEL FROM CONTAINER Russian patent published in 2019 - IPC G21C21/00 

FIELD: nuclear equipment.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to nuclear engineering, particularly to means for producing homogeneous nuclear fuel from a mixture of uranium and plutonium dioxide. Unloading box comprises tilter installed in housing and hooked by its forks container, which barrel is equipped with mesh separator and loaded with powder and needles made of ferromagnetic steel. In the housing of the unloading box there is a linear drive, to the carriage of which there fixed are one or several permanent magnets with the possibility of their reciprocal movement parallel to the barrel of the overturned container. In the lower position the magnets are located above the mesh separator of the overturned container, and in the upper one – above the bottom of the barrel, in the position, at which the ferromagnetic needles are disengaged from the magnets. Magnets are installed with possibility of their movement along normal to barrel until touch.

EFFECT: separation of powder and needles by moving magnetic field and reduction of duration of complete unloading of powder from overturned container.
