Abstract
A system for providing a means of remote ejection and examination of sodium bonded shroud encapsulated fuels has been in use at LASL for over a year. The system is remotely capable of precise machining for clad separation and splitting at specified areas. Controlled heating and constant temperature monitoring is incorporated for sodium melting. The system provides for numerous operations such as: visual examinations, measurements, photography, and sodium dissolution.
