| Abstract/Description: | One of three In-Vessel Handling Machines was lowered by a 200-ton capacity Polar Gantry Crane into the reactor vessel head of the Fast Flux Test Facility (FFTF). The complex refueling component is 35 feet high and 8 feet in diameter. At right, the 'foot' of the IVHM is guided through the reactor vessel head. | |
